### 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.

THEATER 

On Broadway 

YOU KNOW I CAN’T HEAR YOU WHEN THE WATER’S RUNNING. Four playlets poke fun at man’s desires and taboos in the pursuit of sex. Martin Balsam, Eileen Heckart and George Grizzard project all the poignancy and lunacy of Robert Anderson’s characters. 

BLACK COMEDY is not a play about civil rights or a comedy of black humor. Its tale of what happened when the lights went out is as unsubtle and vaudevillian as a slip on a banana peel or a pie in the face—and just as much fun. 

THE HOMECOMING springs traps and surprises on its audience, making the play’s validity, intent and meaning the controversy of the season. The Royal Shakespeare Company gives Harold Pinter’s drama a spellbinding presentation. 

Off Broadway 

AMERICA HURRAH is as refreshing and shocking as a dive into cold water. The playlets by Jean-Claude van Itallie are the season’s most original American drama. 

RECORDS 

Opera 

WAGNER: DIE WALKÜRE, (Deutsche Grammophon; 5 LPs). Despite all of its flames, blood, magic swords and flying goddesses, this crystal-and-velvet score is the most human of Wagner’s Ring operas. Conductor Herbert von Karajan’s slow, deliberate pace illuminates each stroke of genius in the score, but some listeners will find that he has sacrificed passion for clarity and restrained the anguish that Wagner’s wild climaxes can evoke. No matter: Jon Vickers’ Siegmund is powerful and Régine Crespin’s hotoyohos are properly rousing. 

VERDI: UN BALLO IN MASCHERA (RCA Victor: 3 LPs). Masked Ball’s libretto is strictly crackplot, but Verdi’s tunes justify the onstage bewilderment. The opera has an ominous history: the day Verdi brought his score to Naples, assassins tried to murder Napoleon III. Frightened Bourbon censors forced the composer to switch the locale of his rather gloomy tale (about the assassination of Sweden’s 18th century King Gustav III) to exotic Massachusetts and to dramatize instead the assassination of the “Governor of Boston.” Conducted appropriately by Boston’s Erich Leinsdorf, this version stars the lush vocal beauty of Leontyne Price, supported by a mostly American cast, including Robert Merrill, Shirley Verrett and Reri Grist. Carlo Bergonzi provides appropriate Italianate grace as the doomed governor. 

MONTEVERDI: L’INCORONAZIONE Dl POPPEA (Cambridge; 4 LPs). Monteverdi, the true father of opera, composed Popped in 1642, when the art was still in its infancy. This is the first complete recording of his lusty, utterly amoral libretto and gentle music. Yet the results probably fall short of Monteverdi’s intentions. In his day, singers, not composers or conductors, were kings; and no modern revival can ever recapture their singular contributions to a performance. For instance, two major roles in Poppea, scored for castrato voices, are sung in this recording by a countertenor and tenor, who provide earnest but ghostly approximations of the old score. The album, however, gives fine hints of how early Italian baroque opera sounded: intimate, civilized, and a trifle boring to modern ears. 

PURCELL: DIDO & AENEAS (Angel). If the English had not loved spoken drama so well, Henry Purcell might have started a glorious operatic tradition in his country. As it was, Dido and Aeneas is Purcell’s only opera, which he composed for a 1689 performance by the “Young Gentlewomen” at Josias Priest’s School in Chelsea. This album boasts a more distinguished roster of singers, including Victoria de los Angeles, but Purcell’s baroque is as airy and clear as a birdsong in an English meadow—and sounds just as repetitious. Sir John Barbirolli conducts with vivacity. 

IRINA ARKHIPOVA: RUSSIAN OPERA & CANTATA ARIAS (Melodiya/Angel). The dark passion of good Russian music is welcome to even the most jaded ears, and this collection of arias is particularly affecting. While most of the composers (Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev) are familiar, the excerpts are less so. Among the most intriguing is from Not Love Alone, an opera about the love life on a collective farm by Rodion Shchedrin. The youngest composer represented on the album (and husband of Prima Ballerina Maya Plisetskaya), Shchedrin finds room for originality within conventional Soviet Realism—which means late, late, late Romanticism. However superficial, his melodies are refreshingly singable. Mezzo-Soprano Arkhipova renders all with intelligence and virtuosity. 

CINEMA 

THE DRIFTER. Inventive, impressionistic camera work and a memorable score tell a story as thin and fragile as a sea shell about a vagabond hitchhiker. 

THE WAR WAGON. A standard western that has style and gusto, thanks to Old Pros John Wayne and Kirk Douglas and the taut direction of Burt Kennedy. 

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK. Author Neil Simon has taken a plot as bland as a potato, sliced it into thin bits—and made it as hard to resist as potato chips. Jane Fonda, Robert Redford and Mildred Natwick are also crisp. 

A GUIDE FOR THE MARRIED MAN. Walter Matthau is the man and Bobby Morse is his guide through the intricacies of adultery. A fine collection of comics (among them: Jack Benny, Lucille Ball, Art Carney, Joey Bishop) contribute cameo illustrations to the lecture. 

THE HONEY POT. Rex Harrison plays a voluptuary who lives a vita that is incredibly dolce until Director Joseph Mankiewicz’s sourly satirical plot takes over. 

MADE IN ITALY. Anna Magnani, Virna Lisi and Catherine Spaak are among the stars of this mosaic of modern Italy that blends humor, irony and pathos.

A distinguished and versatile critic gathers shards of youthful experience into a memoir that says farewell to the innocence—his own and the country’s—that was shattered by World War I. The same experiences help his rather stilted early stories, GALAHAD and I THOUGHT OF DAISY, now reissued, to hold up as searching documentaries of an era. 

HAROLD NICOLSON: THE WAR YEARS, 1939-1945, VOL. II OF DIARIES AND LETTERS, edited by Nigel Nicolson. This second installment of Author-Politician Nicolson’s sprightly and irreverent reminiscences might well clinch his position as the brightest British diarist of his age. 

THE DIFFICULTY OF BEING, by Jean Cocteau. Autobiographical jottings of the Frenchman who poured his enormous talents into playing the artist in both his strange novels and otherworldly movies. 

RICHARD STRAUSS: THE LIFE OF A NON-HERO, by George R. Marek. The author orchestrates vivid evocations of German cultural life around his theme, that decay and upheaval after World War I cut Strauss off from his romantic roots and kept him from fulfilling his greatness. 

ALL MEN ARE LONELY NOW, by Francis Clifford. Still another double agent ravels the skein of British cold-war diplomacy with a classically simple plan that Author Clifford fashions into a classically complicated thriller. 

SNOW WHITE, by Donald Barthelme. A weird and wicked contemporary version of the old fairy tale. Children would like the story without understanding it—but, then, the same is true for adults. 

THE HORRORS OF LOVE, by Jean Dutourd. In his exploration of a tragic love affair between a middle-aged Frenchman and his young mistress, Dutourd also performs an unconstrained and meticulous dissection of French character.
