### 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

BLACK COMEDY is not, as its title suggests, a play about civil rights or a comedy of black humor. It 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, catching it up in the controversy of the season as to its validity, intent and meaning. The Royal Shakespeare Company gives Harold Pinter’s drama a spellbinding presentation. 

Off Broadway 

THE COACH WITH THE SIX INSIDES is a kaleidoscopic view of Finnegans Wake expressed in dance and drama and some of the more devilish passages of Joycean imagery. Jean Erdman conceived and directed this bright entertainment. 

RECORDS 

Opera 

WAGNER: TRISTAN AND ISOLDE (5 LPs; Deutsche Grammophon). Just as the lovers sing in darkest Liebesnacht of the light that shines within them, this recording illuminates Wagner’s murky masterpiece. Taped live at Bayreuth last summer, it is by far the best interpretation yet. Most of the credit goes to Karl Bohm, who brings out all the opera’s passion and eroticism without tripping over its technical difficulties. The tempos are strong, the melodic and thematic lines always clear—all of which supports the singers and frees them to pour their strength into vocal characterization. In the seven years since her first recording of the role, Birgit Nilsson has deepened her Isolde; her vocal performance, from the brilliant high C’s to the oboelike low A’s, is matchless. Wolfgang Windgassen excels as Tristan, particularly in the third act when his ravings take on a pathetic humanity. For those who care only about Isolde, Kirsten Flagstad’s burnished, womanly performance (London) is still best; for Wagner’s total creation, Bohm and Bayreuth are supreme. 

ROSSINI: SEMIRAMIDE (3 LPs; London). The opera makes almost insuperable demands on the voices and musicianship of the singers, especially the two sopranos, but in this performance Joan Sutherland and Marilyn Home are equal to the task. In the early scenes, Sutherland’s voice has a rather thick, clotted quality that soon clears up; Home is superb throughout. For aficionados of bel canto and tortuous vocal ornamentations, this recording is a major event, owing in no small part to Bonynge’s intelligent handling of the text and the London Symphony. 

PROKOFIEV: WAR AND PEACE (3 LPs; Heliodor). Tolstoy’s epic is not the easiest assignment in operatic composing, but by concentrating on the love story of Prince Andrei and Natasha, and Kuturov’s defeat of Napoleon, Prokofiev has done a surprisingly effective job. Instead of beginning with a big party scene, he shrewdly chooses a tender picture of longing and rebirth when Andrei hears Natasha and Sonya on their balcony. The composer has written the girls a soprano duet that recalls Strauss’s lyricism. Here and elsewhere, the voices of Radmilla Vasovic Bokacevic and Biserka Cvejic are nicely matched. Among the male singers, Dusan Popovic as Andrei stands out as having a visceral knowledge not only of Prokofiev’s music but of every shading of Tolstoy’s complex character. Werner Janssen leads the Vienna Opera Orchestra in a well-integrated performance. 

SHOSTAKOVICH: KATERINA ISMAILOVA (3 LPs; Melodiya-Angel). This opera cost its composer considerable grief: shortly after he wrote it he was denounced by the Soviets for bourgeois intentions and vulgar execution. It is a brash work; at times openly satirical, at others tragically serious. The plot, based on Nikolai Leskov’s story, Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District, tells of a frustrated wife who eventually destroys the men around her. All the characters are thoroughly unsympathetic. The recording, part of Capitol’s new import of Russian phonography, is disappointing. As the wife, Niconora Andreyeva has spirited dramatic presence, but vocally she is insecure. Tenor Vyascheslav Radzievsky, as her husband, has a thin, weary voice, possibly because he forces it at top volume no matter what the circumstances. The many supporting roles are also sung unevenly, with the emphasis on dramatic display rather than well-placed singing. 

CINEMA 

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

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

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK. Playwright Neil Simon has adapted his boffo Broadway comedy to the screen with no loss of humor, largely owing to the retention of Original Cast Members Robert Redford and Mildred Natwick and the canny addition of Jane Fonda. 

A GUIDE FOR THE MARRIED MAN. Walter Matthau is the man and Bobby Morse is his guide through the intricacies of adultery—with a fine collection of comics (among them: Jack Benny, Lucille Ball, Joey Bishop) contributing 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, Alberto Sordi, Virna Lisi and Catherine Spaak are among the stars of this mosaic of modern Italy that blends humor, irony and pathos.

THE DIFFICULTY OF BEING, by Jean Cocteau. Autobiographical jottings of the Frenchman who enjoyed playing the flamboyant artist but who preserved for books and movies his creative fires. 

THE HORRORS OF LOVE, by Jean Dutourd. Using an ill-fated May-to-December romance, Satirist Dutourd skillfully and venomously explores the French character. 

ALL MEN ARE LONELY NOW, by Francis Clifford. The author is the latest practitioner of the le Carre school of thriller writing, and he offers a properly murky plot and even cloudier characters. 

RICHARD STRAUSS: THE LIFE OF A NONHERO, by George R. Marek. The great romantic composer is viewed amidst a vivid evocation of cultural life in Germany—whose decay and upheaval after World War I, argues the author, was the cause of Strauss’s disappointing later output. 

SNOW WHITE, by Donald Barthelme. Snow White and her seven dwarfish accomplices suffer through the complexities of contemporary life in a witty and wild retelling of the old fairy story. 

BATTLES IN THE MONSOON, by S.L.A. Marshall. A rapid-fire account of a summer’s campaigning in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam, this book by Brigadier General “Slam” Marshall brings the red visage of war into close-up focus.
