### FAQ

#### Is a PMP certification worth it?

A Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is widely considered a valuable certification for project managers seeking to advance their careers. According to PMI's Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey—Fourteenth Edition, professionals with a PMP certification report median salaries 17% higher on average across the 21 countries surveyed than those without it. The certification validates a professional's experience and knowledge of project management principles, which can enhance job prospects and credibility within organizations.

#### What are the best certifications for project managers?

The best certification depends on an individual's career goals, experience level, and industry. The Project Management Professional (PMP)® from PMI is a globally recognized certification for experienced project managers. For those newer to the field, PMI's Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® is a common starting point. Other notable certifications include those focused on agile methodologies, such as the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)®, and program management certifications like the Program Management Professional (PgMP)®. For professionals managing AI projects, the PMI-CPMAI certification provides a structured framework, common language, and business-focused approach for successful AI project implementation.

#### How does PMI support career growth for professionals?

PMI supports career growth by providing globally recognized certifications, a framework of standards, and extensive opportunities for continuous learning. Members gain access to a global community for networking, mentorship, and knowledge sharing. The organization also produces research and thought leadership on emerging trends, helping professionals stay current with skills in areas like AI, agile practices, and strategic business management. These resources are designed to help professionals at all levels enhance their skills and advance their careers.

#### What is the PMBOK® Guide?

The PMBOK® Guide, or A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, is PMI’s foundational guide to generally accepted project management knowledge and practice. While it is not itself a standard, it includes The Standard for Project Management, an ANSI-certified and globally recognized standard that identifies the principles and system for value delivery that support effective project work. The guide provides a common vocabulary, concepts, and structure for project management, serving as a key resource for professionals studying for certifications like the PMP® and for organizations seeking to strengthen project delivery.

#### How is AI changing project management?

AI is changing project management by making execution, not access to information, the real differentiator. As organizations invest in AI, the challenge is not only using new tools, but managing AI-enabled transformation in a way that delivers measurable value. Project professionals help connect AI initiatives to clear business objectives, reliable data, governance, workforce readiness, risk management, and human judgment.  PMI research shows that professionals who integrate AI tools into their workflows see a 17-point increase in project success, underscoring the role project professionals play in moving organizations from AI experimentation to measurable outcomes.

#### What are the most important skills for a project manager?

Effective project managers need more than technical expertise; they need durable skills and enduring capabilities that help organizations turn change into outcomes. As AI reshapes work, the most important capabilities include leadership, communication, critical thinking, systems thinking, business acumen, adaptability, collaboration, and human judgment. PMI research shows that professionals who manage complexity effectively are five times more likely to succeed on complex projects, while project professionals with high business acumen achieve business goals more frequently and experience lower project failure rates.


#### How can I get involved with the PMI community?

Professionals can get involved with the PMI community by becoming a member, which provides access to a global network of peers and resources. Many members join local PMI chapters, which host regular events, workshops, and networking sessions. Online, PMI's projectmanagement.com community offers a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing, and access to webinars and articles. Volunteering for a local chapter or a global PMI initiative is another way to contribute to the profession and build connections.

#### What is the difference between PMP and CAPM?

The PMP (Project Management Professional)® and CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management)® are both certifications offered by PMI, but they target professionals at different career stages. The CAPM is an entry-level certification designed for individuals with little or no project experience, validating their understanding of fundamental project management knowledge and terminology. The PMP is for experienced project managers and requires a combination of formal education and years of documented project leadership experience, making it a more advanced and globally recognized certification.

#### How does PMI support social impact?
PMI supports social impact by helping individuals, nonprofits, NGOs, and communities use project management to turn purpose into measurable outcomes. Through the PMI Educational Foundation, PMI expands access to project management education for youth worldwide, including underserved and underrepresented populations. Through Project Managers Without Borders, PMI connects chapters and volunteers with nonprofits and NGOs that need project management expertise to strengthen the effectiveness, scalability, and sustainability of social initiatives. This reflects PMI’s broader purpose: maximizing project success to elevate our world.

CINEMA 

The Balcony. Jean Genet’s shocker, part burlesque, part Black Mass, argues that the world is a vast brothel run by an allegorical madam who panders illusions to her customers in return for the surrender of their masculinity. Shelley Winters is the madam. 

Mondo Cane. In this documentary of depravity, the world has gone to the dogs and the cards are stacked against human decency, all leading to the conclusion that people are no damn good. 

The Playboy of the Western World. Torrents of gorgeous Irish talk, miles of fine Irish scenery, and some splendid acting almost offset the main flaw in this film version of Synge’s play: Actress Siobhan McKenna should not still be playing colleens. 

How the West Was Won. Cinerama turns from picture postcards to epic storytelling as sodbusters, Indians, outlaws, good guys, and a thousand thundering buffaloes go west in a big way. 

The Wrong Arm of the Law. Sneaky Pete Sellers as a raffish Raffles heads a gang of candid-camera jewel robbers. 

The Quare Fellow. In this movie version of his first successful play, Brendan Behan storms out against capital punishment. And, because Irishmen laugh when others might weep, he also laughs at the way men are made to live in jail, and condemned to die. 

To Kill a Mockingbird. The Pulitzer Prize novel by Harper Lee has been made into an engaging movie that exchanges some of the novel’s cuteness for a charm of its own—some of it supplied by the hero (Gregory Peck), most of it by three gumptious young ‘uns (Mary Badham, Phillip Alford, John Megna). 

Love and Larceny. Vittorio Gassman is a gasser in a grab bag of disguises, ends up as a con man conned con amore. 

A Child Is Waiting. This film takes an impassioned look at the problem of mental defectives (there are 5,700,000 of them in the U.S.), and makes some surprising recommendations. Burt Lancaster, Judy Garland and Bruce Ritchey play the principal parts with distinction. 

Days of Wine and Roses. Remick-on-the-rocks with a twist of Lemmon is the recipe for this effective temperance lesson. 

Lawrence of Arabia. Will probably run ’til the sands of the desert grow cold. 

TELEVISION 

Wednesday, April 3 

CBS Reports (CBS, 7:30-8:30 p.m.).\* U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry and Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman join Author Rachel Carson et al. to discuss the danger of pesticides to man. 

Thursday, April 4 

Hall of Fame (NBC, 8:30-10 p.m.). “The Invincible Mr. Disraeli,” starring Trevor Howard and Greer Garson, is the first in-depth portrait of Dizzy since George Arliss’ preposterous hoddydoddy. Color.

Tuesday, April 9 

Chet Huntley Reporting (NBC, 10:30-11 p.m.). Averell Harriman is interviewed. 

THEATER 

Too True to Be Good, by George Bernard Shaw, is substandard G.B.S., full of mildewed seventyish garrulities on religion, militarism and the idle rich. A full cast of stars—Glynis Johns, Robert Preston, David Wayne, Cyril Ritchard, Eileen Heckart, Lillian Gish, Cedric Hardwicke, Ray Middleton—rushes about filling the dramatic vacuum. 

Strange Interlude, by Eugene O’Neill, is a theatrical event of fascinating and ironic magnitude. Geraldine Page acts with dazzling prismatic splendor, but the play, a 4½-hour marathon, is a dated Lost Generation relic, infused at odd moments with O’Neill’s personal anguish. 

Enter Laughing, by Joseph Stein. The Jewish situation comedy is not a trend but a glut. This one offers traces of honest observation, and as a clown of a would-be actor, Alan Arkin is outrageously funny. 

Photo Finish, by Peter Ustinov. An old party of 80 confronts his onstage self at earlier ages and is alternately apoplectic and philosophical at what he sees. Actor-Director-Author Ustinov gives the proceedings elegant polish. 

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, by Edward Albee, makes a no-exit verbal hell out of a college professor’s living room. Arthur Hill and Uta Hagen beat ugly truths and fond illusions out of each other with savage, flailing brilliance. 

BOOKS 

Best Reading 

A Favourite of the Gods, by Sybille Bedford. Grand opera without music, about the dynastic rich of 19th century Europe, by a novelist with a fine feel for revoked wills, missing rubies, and the trials of being wellborn. 

A Fortune in Dimes, by Mary Carter. An artful novelist’s look at the beachbound aborigines of Pasadena, where teen culture embraces all ages, and life is full, rich and empty. 

On Revolution, by Hannah Arendt. In a shrewd study, Historian Arendt examines the long-held notion that revolutions cure social ills, concludes that most of them do more harm than good. 

That Summer in Paris, by Morley Callaghan. How it was on the Left Bank in the 1920s by a Canadian writer who once knocked Hemingway down in a boxing match while Scott Fitzgerald kept time. 

V., by Thomas Pynchon. A disordered but engaging first novel about alligators in a city sewer system, and a zany hero’s search for the meaning of the letter V. 

Lawrence Durrell and Henry Miller, A Private Correspondence. The snap, crackle and pop of prose writers on each other’s prose, culled from 25 talkative years and studded with wit and wisdom. 

The Second Stone, by Leslie Fiedler. A zany triangle of Americans in Rome soon turns out to be a parable in which Author-Critic Fiedler pits the U.S. artist as rebel against the U.S. artist as public entertainer.
