### 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 

Spoken 

LYSISTRATA (Caedmon). Disgusted with the 20-year-old Peloponnesian War, Aristophanes attacked the Greek “hawks” with volleys of ribaldry. In the celebrated tale of how women ended the war with a sex strike, Hermione Gingold slyly makes double entendres sound quadruple as the Athenian matron who urges the ladies to stay out of the bedrooms until their men get off the battlefields. 

THE CHERRY ORCHARD (Caedmon). The Minnesota Theater Company, under the direction of Tyrone Guthrie, gives a balanced rendition of Chekhov’s complex last play. The playwright set out to write a comedy about the social types in a changing Russia, but his characters, while absurd in their inflexibility, are also elegiac in their ineffectuality. Jessica Tandy plays an aristocratic Ranevskaya, as flowery as her beloved orchard and just as fruitless. As the arriviste, Lee Richardson is believably ambivalent as he reluctantly reaps triumph over his former employers. Hume Cronyn, however, sounds too nasally shrewd to be the bumbling clerk. 

YEVGENY YEVTUSHENKO, BABII YAR AND OTHER POEMS (Caedmon). Russia’s most prominent licensed nonconformist renders his role as rebellious poet in wax, and the impression is not flattering. A listener with no knowledge of Russian can have only an approximate sense of the quality of the original language in Yevtushenko’s reading. The contents of the verses, however, can be judged in Alan Bates’s English translation, and they do not seem to burn with artistic flame—they itch like inflammations. Except for the famous piece Babii Yar, which is more an emphatic speech than a poem about the slaughter of tens of thousands of Jews by German troops near Yevtushenko’s Kiev, topics of recent years are often triumphs of trivia, his attitudes the aggravations of an adolescent. 

ANTIWORLDS, THE POETRY OF ANDREI VOZNESENSKY (Columbia). Another Russian anti-laureate. Voznesensky at least writes poetry that is abundant in ingenious im ages and engaging lyricism. Goya is a grinding tribute to the painter’s horror-filled canvases of war. Antiworlds is a semicomic speculation on an anti-universe of antimatter where there would be no women, just “anti-men.” Read in fiery Russian by the poet, and in English by Stanley Kunitz, William Jay Smith, Richard Wilbur and W. H. Auden. 

LSD (Capitol) is a documentary of degeneration, with historical data, current statistics, comments from “acidheads” on why they dig the drug, from “travel agents” on why they sell it, and from medical experts on its appalling effects. Against a background of psychedelic music and the hallucinatory laughter of “stoned” kids, the shattering screams of a young man on his 34th trip put into frightening perspective the never-never world of society’s dropouts. 

THE PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCE (Broadside). Three of the pot religion’s high priests (Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert, and Ralph Metzner) read from “The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead” in droning, sullen voices that might be coming from the far side of the grave. “You are about to begin a great adventure, a trip out of your mind,” Leary promises. What the listener is really about to begin is a dull record, with little to recommend it beyond a beautifully executed jacket drawing. 

CARL SANDBURG READS FROM HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY “ALWAYS THE YOUNG STRANGERS” (Caedmon). In heartfelt tones, the ancient recorder of Americana shares his remembrances of a Midwestern childhood, school days, the neighborhood circus coming to the empty lot down the street, the daily pumping for water in the backyard, the parade marking the death of Ulysses S. Grant. 

ALLEN GINSBERG READS “KADDISH,” A 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN ECSTATIC NARRATIVE POEM (Atlantic). An unbeaten survivor of the beat generation croaks his way through one of his better-known works, a litany to his mother and to his own maturation process (“Once man disagreed with my opinion of the cosmos I was lost”). While various vignettes from a misery-filled family album are moving, overlong reels of domestic dreariness are merely that—dreary. 

CINEMA 

CRAZY QUILT. Written, directed, photographed and produced by John Korty, a 30-year-old TV producer, this minor masterpiece explores the nature of marriage as revealed to a man and woman with nothing in common except their inescapable destiny. 

FANTASTIC VOYAGE. What better way to become acquainted with the human circulatory system than to travel through it? In a teeny-weeny submarine, a miniaturized crew of science-fictionees, assisted by Raquel Welch, go on a spine-tingling mission through inner space. 

THE WRONG BOX. Survival of the fittest—Victorian style—leads members of a genteel British family to mayhem, murder and related shenanigans in an all-out effort to inherit a vast fortune. 

HOW TO STEAL A MILLION and live happily ever after furnishes the amoral moral of William Wyler’s Parisian comedy starring Audrey Hepburn and Peter O’Toole as the serendipitous partners in crime. 

WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? Bloodletting in the groves of academe. Two faculty couples (Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Sandy Dennis and George Segal) cut each other up with words, words, and more words in a deft screen version of Edward Albee’s play. 

THE ENDLESS SUMMER. Even those who don’t know a pipeline from a wipeout will have no trouble following the action of this beautifully photographed odyssey of surfing. 

BOOKS 

Best Reading 

CAPABLE OF HONOR, by Allen Drury. The author’s fictional sense occasionally goes awry and his style turns turgid. But his reportorial eye is sharp in this big and topical book about domestic and international chicanery, which carries forward the cast of characters introduced in Advise and Consent. 

GILES GOAT-BOY, by John Earth. A labyrinth of intellectual booby traps leads into the deadpan center of a “university,” which is Earth’s metaphor for a mad, mad, mad world. 

THE FIXER, by Bernard Malamud. A severe moralist, Malamud pits a helpless man against guilty authority in this poignant account of a Jew condemned to die for a crime he did not commit. 

THE ANTI-DEATH LEAGUE, by Kingsley Amis. A sprightly cold war suspense story that keeps the reader looking so long in the wrong direction that he almost forgets the ending is not entirely credible. 

THE SECRET OF SANTA VITTORIA, by Robert Crichton. The best first novel of the year and perhaps the most rollickingly funny World War II novel since Mister Roberts. 

THE MUSIC SCHOOL, by John Updike. Twenty short stories that show Updike at his best, though old fans may feel that they hear echoes rather than original sounds. 

THIS AGE OF VIOLENCE, by Fredric Wertham. A clinical psychiatrist’s indignant analysis of the seeds of violence in contemporary society, from toy guns and war games to TV drama and current fiction. Not even Superman or the Unknown Soldier get a clean bill of health in this unsettling and probably oversimplified book.
