### 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.

Tuesday, March 21 

OUR TIME IN HELL (ABC, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). Lee Marvin narrates the U.S. Marine Corps’ World War II Pacific campaign, from Guadalcanal to Okinawa. 

THEATER 

On Broadway 

BLACK COMEDY. British Playwright Peter Shaffer looses eight characters on a stage that is supposed to be in total darkness. Director John Dexter manipulates them in a fracturingly funny people jam, with Michael Crawford, Geraldine Page and Lynn Redgrave leading the acrobatics. 

THE HOMECOMING, by Harold Pinter, pits the strength of five men v. the power of one woman. Who conquers and exploits whom is the question. The answer depends on each man’s interpretation. The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production, directed by Peter Hall, is properly tense and intense. 

THE WILD DUCK. Although he was dedicated to candor in human relations, Playwright Henrik Ibsen recognized all too clearly that it is kinder to consider what men wish they could be than to deal with them as they are. In its revival of this 1884 play, the APA troupe performs with more precision than passion. 

AT THE DROP OF ANOTHER HAT. Sound a bellow with a whisper, match a maharajah with a mouse, mix wit with whimsy, and you have the combination for an evening of charming entertainment by Flanders and Swann. 

Off Broadway 

THE RIMERS OF ELDRITCH is both evocative and entertaining, as Lanford Wilson re-creates the mood and the milieu of a ghost mining town in the Midwest. Fluidly paced by Director Michael Kahn, Rimers is a collection of vignettes that might have come from Winesburg, Ohio, set in the dramatic form of Under Milk Wood. 

EH? In Cervantes’ classic, a Spanish “knight” fights a windmill—and loses. In Henry Livings’ farce, a British nit challenges a boiler—and the boiler loses. 

AMERICA HURRAH. Jean-Claude van Itallie melds pop art and the theater of cruelty as he leads his audience through a modern Inferno of cocktail parties, urban herds, politics, psychoanalytic jargon and motels. 

RECORDS 

Chamber Music 

HAYDN: THREE QUARTETS, OPUS 54 (Epic). The Juilliard String Quartet once again displays its unsurpassed exactness of intonation and joint attack as it makes each quartet a finely chiseled gem—all without sacrificing warmth or passion, as in the C Major Adagio, with its deep-voiced Hungarian lament under the dancing arabesques of the violin. 

LEOS JANÁCEK: CONCERTINO FOR PIANO (Crossroads). Among the latest additions to the fast-growing U.S. catalogue of Janáacek’s works is this four-movement suite for piano with six instruments, which enter by ones and twos to sass the piano and one another. Not top-drawer Janácek, but nonetheless vigorous and jazzy with its insistent themes, bold fistfuls of chords and thumping rhythms. Josef Pálenicek is the pianist. 

MOZART: THE SIX QUINTETS FOR STRING QUARTET AND VIOLA (3 LPs; Columbia). In his later years, Mozart liked to play the viola; so he added a darker color to the string quartet by doubling the viola’s voice. The five late quintets contain, besides the expected felicitous melodies, melting modulations and sprightly symmetries, some rich polyphony and dramatic interchanges. Walter Trampler brings his viola to the Budapest String Quartet, which is constantly updating its repertory to take advantage of improved recording techniques. This is their third recording of the quintets; they can stop now. 

TCHAIKOVSKY: “SOUVENIR DE FLORENCE” (RCA Victor). Tchaikovsky added an extra cello to Mozart’s quintet, but the effect in his rambunctious opening movement is more like 60 strings than six. With its robust peasant dances, twining lines of song and sudden hushes and crescendos, Tchaikovsky’s tribute to Florence is theatrical and Slavic. The new Guarneri Quartet, joined by half the Budapest Quartet, manages an almost symphonic treatment of the composer’s work. 

BEETHOVEN: CELLO SONATAS NOS. 3 and 5 (Angel). From the beauty of tone and sensitivity of interpretation, listeners would scarcely suspect that the cellist is only 22, the pianist 27\. Jacqueline du Pré, a child prodigy in England and recent student of the Russian virtuoso Mstislav Rostropovitch, handles her cello as gloriously as any master three times her age; Los Angeles-born Stephen Bishop, former student of Myra Hess, makes an impressive partner. 

THE BOSTON SYMPHONY CHAMBER PLAYERS (3 LPs; RCA Victor) have recorded with zest and polish an evening of music ranging in time from Mozart’s sunny, transparent Quartet in D for Flute and Strings to the late Irving Fine’s romantic and unsettling Fantasia for String Trio (1957). Most fetching of the four contemporary works is Elliott Carter’s Woodwind Quintet, with its light melodic fragments breezily tossed and tangled like crepe-paper streamers. 

CINEMA 

THE PERSECUTION AND ASSASSINATION OF JEAN-PAUL MARAT AS PERFORMED BY THE INMATES OF THE ASYLUM OF CHARENTON UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE MARQUIS DE SADE. Under the direction of Peter Brook, Britain’s Royal Shakespeare Company has transformed Peter Weiss’s play into a cinematic rowdydow no less frazzle-dazzling than it was on the stage. 

DUTCHMAN. Another shocking play effectively turned into a film—this time LeRoi Jones’s one-act polemic on race hate. Shirley Knight and Al Freeman Jr. enact a brief, brutal encounter on a subway train that builds danger with the insistence of steel wheels screeching around a curve. 

BLOWUP. Actor David Hemmings comes into sharp focus as a pop photog who happens to take a picture of a murder (committed by Vanessa Redgrave) that he blows up, and which in turn blows up his whole mod scene. 

LA GUERRE EST FINIE. Yves Montand’s performance as an unrepentant, unforgiving Spanish Civil War veteran is part of the melancholy strength of this Alain Resnais (Hiroshima Mon Amour) study in desperation. 

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS. Playwright Robert Bolt’s literate theater work on the martyrdom of Sir Thomas More makes every bit as good a movie—with Paul Scofield as Sir Thomas. 

BOOKS 

Best Reading 

BLACK IS BEST, by Jack Olsen. A formidable biography that disassembles Heavyweight Champion Cassius Clay and then carefully spreads the many pieces on the gym floor. 

THE THORN TREES, by John Mclntosh. Set in a fictional counterpart of Bechuanaland, the novel tells with special horror how white civilization can fail in the face of the white man’s degeneracy and corruption. 

A SHORTER FINNEGANS WAKE, by James Joyce, edited by Anthony Burgess. Joyce’s dream-ridden masterpiece was 17 years in the writing and could easily have been 17 more in the reading until Novelist Burgess (A Clockwork Orange) came to the rescue by cutting it by two-thirds. Joyce’s ecstasy of verbal sound and association remains intact. 

THE MAN WHO KNEW KENNEDY, by Vance Bourjaily. The first effort to capture the triumph and tragedy of the Kennedy era in fiction. Bourjaily’s flashback-filled book is a sometimes brilliant and often evocative account of how the generation closest to Kennedy in age and aspirations reacted to his death. 

THE LAST ONE LEFT, by John MacDonald. A busy, well-populated story of skulduggery at sea, tersely told by the current Big Daddy (53 books) of murder-suspense thrillers. 

THE SOLDIER’S ART, by Anthony Powell. The eighth novel in a brilliantly executed marathon series depicting life in Britain between and during the two big wars carries Narrator-Hero Nick Jenkins into the second year of World War II. 

PAPER LION, by George Plimpton. The last long football season gave Americans the Super Bowl and the super book on the pro game. Plimpton’s prose is worth a dozen coffee-table volumes filled with full-color pictures of golden boys in muddy pants.
