### 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 PETERPAT, by Enid Rudd. In olden days, man fought Tyrannosaurus rex; nowadays he battles Tyrannosaurus regina—his wife. 

With Dick Shawn and Joan Hackett deftly handling the key roles, this wry, observant comedy argues with cogency that marriage is funny as hell. 

TINY ALICE. Mystification is the end result of Edward Albee’s quasi-metaphysical suspense melodrama centering on the relationship between a lay brother (John Gielgud) and the richest woman in the world (Irene Worth). The burden of feeling rests on the language and a supremely competent cast. 

HUGHIE. Jason Robards and Eugene O’Neill prove incomparable stage mates once again in this engrossing and poignant-study of a man’s need for a false mirror wherein he may see himself as he is not. 

POOR RICHARD. Alan Bates plays a lovable lush and a poet pursued—by his own doubts and remorse, plus a sweet honey-blonde. He conquers his qualms and loses to her winning ways in Jean Kerr’s sporadically amusing comedy. 

THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. In Bill Manhoffs sly interpretation of the mating ritual, a saucy prostitute (Diana Sands) runs circles around a stuffy book clerk (Alan Alda). To his horror and the playgoer’s amusement, he helps her trap him. 

LUV. Mike Nichols, a matchless director of comedy, contributes mightily to Schisgal’s lie-down-on-my-couch-and-let-me-tell-you-all-about-myself farce. EH Wallach, Anne Jackson and Alan Arkin keep the humor quotient high. 

Off Broadway WAR AND PEACE. The life force of a great novel surges through this APA at the Phoenix rendering of the Tolstoy classic. The tone and thematic intent of the work have been preserved, and the performances of Sydney Walker as old Prince Bolkonski and Rosemary Harris as Natasha are supremely good. 

TARTUFFE. While Moliére has suffered a slight miscarriage of esthetic justice in this broad and bouncy Lincoln Center presentation of his biting and bitter comedy, the performance of Michael O’Sullivan in the title role is a splendidly surrealistic wedding of malice and humor. 

BABES IN THE WOOD. Rick Besoyan’s vaudevillian version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is more akin to Minsky than Shakespeare. The humor is broad, the music is gay,” the mood is light. The groundlings would have loved it. 

THE SLAVE and THE TOILET caters to the white mentality that masochistically enjoys being reviled for injustice to Negroes. With painful intensity, LeRoi Jones dramatizes both naked hate and the interracial love that dare not speak its name. 

RECORDS 

Opera 

BIZET: CARMEN (3 LPs; Angel). Three reigning sopranos have now recorded the rich mezzo role with distinction and distinct differences. The newest Carmen, Maria Callas, lacks the heavenly beauty of Victoria de los Angeles and the earthy sensuousness of Leontyne Price. She is a hellcat, the most devilish and ruthless gypsy of the three. With Nicolai Gedda as an earnest and poetic Don José, Callas leads a French cast of no great distinction, but Georges Prétre, conducting the orchestra of the Paris Opéra, deserves the Légíon d’honneur. He makes the light, bright passages sparkle with Gallic esprit, and is still able to sound the tocsins of destiny. 

RICHARD STRAUSS: THE WOMAN WITHOUT A SHADOW (4 LPs; Deutsche Grammophon). The complex, symbol-studded story is about an empress who tries to buy the shadow of a poor dyer’s wife. If she gives up her shadow, the symbol of fertility, the dyer’s wife must forgo motherhood; the dilemma causes her unborn children to plead with her in one of the eeriest passages in all opera. The technically and emotionally harrowing soprano roles are marvelously sung by Ingrid Bjoner (the empress) and Inge Borkh (the dyer’s wife) while Baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is impressive as the saintly dyer. Recorded during a performance, the voices sometimes overwhelm the orchestra of the Bavarian State Opera, but Conductor Joseph Keilberth still whips plenty of excitement into the lavish score. 

MAUREEN FORRESTER SINGS OPERATIC ARIAS AND SONGS (Westminster). Forrester grandly pours her lustrous contralto into the heroic and tragic molds of Handel, Gluck and Purcell. She is capable of subtle shadings and is especially expressive in the superb threnody of the queen in Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. The accompaniment, with its darkly descending chromatic passages, is played by the Vienna State Opera Orchestra, conducted by Robert Zeller. 

THE AGE OF BEL CANTO (2 LPs; London). A festive addition to the current revival of “beautiful singing,” these 23 arias, duets and trios are by familiar composers (Bellini, Donizetti, Rossini, Handel) as well as unfamiliar ones (Piccinni, Lampugnani, Bononcini, Shield). Joan Sutherland is the heroine of the album, her brilliant voice describing perfect arabesques in the stratosphere. Richard Conrad’s flowing tenor blends beautifully with hers, and there is also ample opportunity to judge the fast-rising Mezzo-Soprano Marilyn Home, whose range, power and flexibility are formidable but who is not yet in the same galaxy as Sutherland. 

WAGNER: KUNDRY-PARSIFAL DUET (RCA Victor). Among all her recordings, this 25-year-old reissue was Kirsten Flagstad’s favorite. Lauritz Melchior is her Parsifal, awakened to his holy search by her kiss and, one would think, by her voice. 

CINEMA 

NOTHING BUT A MAN. The anguishing reality of how it feels to be inside the skin of an American Negro is forcefully conveyed in the story of a proud but imperfect man (Ivan Dixon) who tries to run away from the whites, his wife and his own color. 

MARRIAGE-ITALIAN STYLE. A slut’s progress from a bawdyhouse to a legal bed takes 20 years, but time passes quickly—thanks to Director Vittorio De Sica (Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow) and his well-tempered stars, Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. 

THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG. All the soulful clichés of young love shimmer with freshness and style in this splashy, sparkling French musical by Director Jacques Demy. 

WORLD WITHOUT SUN. In this fascinating, full-color documentary by Oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau (The Silent World), seven oceanauts spend a month in a manfish bowl full fathom five below the surface. 

GOLDFINGER. In another exuberant travesty of Ian Fleming’s fiction, James Bond (Sean Connery) braves a mad Midas and some hilariously horrible sight gags. 

ZORBA THE GREEK. The hell, the horror and the sheer animal delight of Nikos Kazantzakis’ novel are served up larger than life by Director Michael Cacoyannis, with Anthony Quinn magnificently cast as the goatish old Greek who butts his way through a series of disasters. 

SÉANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON. Kim Stanley simultaneously masters the dark arts of bitchery, poignancy and deadly menace in a thriller about a demented psychic who conjures up a kidnaping plot. 

BOOKS

PRINCE EUGEN OF SAVOY, by Nicholas Henderson. A polished biography of the Paris-born Savoyard who, after Louis XIV felt he was too frail for military service, defected to become the Habsburgs’ top general and Louis’ greatest nemesis. 

JONATHAN SWIFT, by Nigel Dennis. The horror and tragedy of the God-haunted cleric who was English literature’s most powerful ironist, consummately examined by a noted contemporary British satirist. 

THE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS OF JEAN MACAQUE, by Stuart Cloete. A series of bittersweet fables of love, stylishly narrated by a fictional philandering journalist who believes that “with enough beds, there might be no battlefields.” 

LOVE AND REVOLUTION, by Max Eastman. The autobiography of a onetime radical editor and longtime happy warrior against repression, be it sexual (he once shared a mistress with Charlie Chaplin) or Communist. 

A COVENANT WITH DEATH, by Stephen Becker. A tale of two murder trials told with convincing characterization and uncommon wit behind a smooth facade of Perry Masonry. 

FRIEDA LAWRENCE, edited by E. W. Tedlock Jr. In the correspondence and other collected writings of his wife, D. H. Lawrence is pictured as more prig than immoralist, she as a lesser but fascinating Lawrencian heroine. 

THE FOUNDING FATHER, by Richard Whalen. The thorough chronicle of how Joseph P. Kennedy, the son of a barkeeper-politician, became a millionaire financier and the father of a President. 

THE HORSE KNOWS THE WAY, by John O’Hara. Though he has written so many short stories that they are now debased by the illusion of sameness, O’Hara still gives the sting of fresh work to this, his fourth assemblage within four years.
