### 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.

RECORDS

 IVES: FOURTH SYMPHONY (Columbia). Charles Ives once said, “I found out I could not go on using the familiar chords early. I heard something else.” Indeed he did, and as a virtual recluse who had never heard a note of Schoenberg, he set down his inner music, delving into dissonance and polytonality in 1916\. The work was not played until 50 years after it was written, and this first recording by Leopold Stokowski and the American Symphony Orchestra celebrates the long-delayed recognition of a major composer.

ROSSINI OVERTURES (Deutsche Grammophon). These brief episodes are gems that rank with the wisest and wittiest works of Mozart. In them Rossini displays a full range of musical motifs, from somber reveries to brilliant marches with a Pied Piper fascination. Tullio Serafin conducts the Rome Opera Orchestra with elegance and exuberance.

SCHUMANN: FOUR SYMPHONIES (Columbia). In recording Schumann’s symphonies as they were originally orchestrated, Leonard Bernstein has compiled a catalogue of the composer’s many moods. He deals decisively with the complicated polyphonic structure that Schumann imposed upon his gentle, lyric thoughts and puts the composer—whimsical, sad, angry—across without blurring overlaps of Teutonic bravura.

DVORAK: SLAVONIC DANCES (Columbia). At his worst, Dvoŕák can make music sound like busy work for idle hands, but he can also evoke the folk music of Bohemia echoing across silent valleys and hills. It is this Dvoŕák that George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra capture.

CARL NIELSEN: SINFONIA ESPANSIVA (Columbia). Leonard Bernstein and the Royal Danish Orchestra do a brisk, lucid job with a slick musical pastiche that seems to combine Sibelius strings, Bruckner mysticism and Grieg schmalz. Along the way there are some very disconcerting faraway voices giving tongue on distant Scandinavian mountaintops. But what is authentically Nielsen’s is his sense of theater; it is also authentically Bernstein’s.

CINEMA

 HELP! The Beatles romp through sight and sound gags, pursued by a band of sinister Orientals out to make a human sacrifice of Ringo. Addicts will welcome the shots of the Beatles’ communal pad, which—among other things—has wall-to-wall grass.

THE KNACK. Director Richard Lester, who Helped! the Beatles, makes Rita Tushingham the goal of three zany British bachelors. At the final guffaw, it’s three down and goal to go.

RAPTURE. A gloomy farm household on the coast of Brittany harbors an escaped criminal (Dean Stockwell) who fulfills the various needs of an embittered ex-judge (Melvyn Douglas), his otherworldly daughter (Patricia Gozzi), and a bed-minded serving wench (Gunnel Lindblom). The tragic result is a triumph for English Director John Guillermin.

DARLING. Julie Christie irresistibly shows how to succeed in bed without hardly trying. This tale has its own kind of moral: when you finally get there, it’s time to get up and go somewhere else.

THE IPCRESS FILE. Harry Palmer (Michael Caine) is an un-Bonded type of counterspy who can hardly see without his glasses and does his job only to keep from being sent to jail. But he does it well and interestingly enough to make a thriller that is fun all the way.

SHIP OF FOOLS. Grand Hotel afloat, with such passengers as Vivien Leigh, Lee Marvin, Simone Signoret and Oskar Werner rocking Katherine Anne Porter’s boat.

BOOKS

Best Reading

 LANGUAGE ON VACATION, by Dmitri A. Borgmann. The author is a word fanatic of the most ingenious order, produces resolutely useless, teasingly fascinating information about anagrams, antigrams, palindromes. How many people can look at Satan and see Santa?

THE EMPEROR OF ICE CREAM, by Brian Moore. A tough, uncompromising novel about a very young man who learns the value of self-respect by daring to meet the crises caused by an air raid during World War II. Author Moore (The Luck of Ginger Coffey) casts a cold eye on contemporary society but warms it with Irish wit.

MRS. JACK, by Louise Hall Tharp. An immensely readable biography of Isabella Stewart Gardner, one of Boston’s most colorful Victorian lady eccentrics. Armed with money, an unfettered imagination and a whim of iron, she kept Boston’s newspapers in copy with her antics for half a century—and along the way assembled a collection of great art, now housed in the Gardner Museum.

SQUARE’S PROGRESS, by Wilfred Sheed. Hounded by his wife and bored to death by the suburb of Bloodbury, Sheed’s hero sets out to discover the world of the beats. He does, and is lucky to escape, gratefully, with his sanity intact.

THE GARDENERS OF SALONIKA, by Alan Palmer. Salonika’s gardeners were discarded tacticians sent off by World War I commanders in chief to dig trenches on the forgotten Macedonian front. But French General Franchet d’Esperey clearly recognized a strategic advantage and sent his neglected troops slicing toward the heart of Germany through the Balkans, thus hastening the Kaiser’s downfall.

ESAU AND JACOB, by Machado de Assis. Machado is the Proust of fin de siècle Rio de Janeiro. His chronicle of old manners and old morals being swept away by new money has the fascination of a gossip column and the authenticity of a diary preserved in lavender.

NEVER CALL RETREAT, by Bruce Catton. Author Catton manages to milk fresh facts and fresh emotions from the oft-repeated tale of the Civil War’s end. The heart of his book is a thorough analysis of what was at stake, morally and economically, at the close of 1864, and a review of the characters of Lincoln and Lee that reaffirms their place among the U.S.’s toughest and most realistic heroes.

WARD 7, by Valeriy Tarsis. Because his novels reflected so clearly the injustices of Soviet dictatorship, Author Tarsis was unjustly committed to a mental asylum. In this bitter novel he outlines the misery of his fellow inmates.
