### 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 

ALFIE! regards the workaday world well lost for lust. As Terence Stamp skillfully plays him in this consistently delightful and unpretentious comedy. Alfie is a cockney Casanova in the irresistible tradition of the picaresque novel. 

POOR RICHARD. Jean Kerr intermittently breaks through the brittle ice of wit into the chilly waters of insight in this pensively playful study of the ability to love and write. Alan Bates as a kind of BurtonThomas-Behan composite displays the kind of flypaper charm that women love to get stuck with. 

THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. Bill Manhoff fills every round with comic impact in this verbal slugfest. pitting a fiery, sexy shrew. Diana Sands, against a self-righteous bookstore clerk, Alan Alda. 

LUV refuses to keep a straight face before some of the pious obsessions of the contemporary world and stage. Eli Wallach. Anne Jackson and Alan Arkin are delectably right for their roles. 

OH WHAT A LOVELY WAR. Every living wordmonger of sacred theatrical cliches would swear that no one could make musi cal entertainment out of the spilled blood, blind gallantry, and stupefying idiocy of World War I. Joan Littlewood and her adroit London Theater Workshop company have done it. The result is hilarious, ironic, heartwarming and heartbreaking. 

Off Broadway 

THE TOILET and THE SLAVE. Naked hate, like naked love, is extremely difficult to project and sustain on a stage, but no one can do it with more venomous intensity than Negro Playwright LeRoi Jones. Jones is a dramatic terrorist, and as he sees it. the Negro is not starved for brotherhood but power. 

MAN AND SUPERMAN. Performed with deceptive ease, superb acting finesse and unfaltering intelligence, this A.P.A.-at-the-Phoenix revival of one of Shaw’s masterworks is the sort of tribute that only finely honed talent can pay to acknowledged genius. 

THE ROOM and A SLIGHT ACHE inject Harold Pinter’s special menace-and-dread serum directly into a playgoer’s veins. 

RECORDS 

Virtuosos 

BEETHOVEN: CONCERTO NO. 5 (RCA Victor). The exuberant Artur Rubinstein and the Boston Symphony’s meticulous Erich Leinsdorf bow in each other’s musical direction in a performance of the lordly “Emperor” Concerto that is both polished and grand. 

HEINRICH BIBER: EIGHT SONATAS FOR VIO LIN AND CONTINUO (2 LPs; Cambridge). Although the Baroque revival has dredged up a good deal of dross, it has also led to the discovery of some golden nuggets. Sonya Monosoff plays these with rich tone and temperament and gets colors seldom heard today, for Biber liked to use scordatura, an unorthodox tuning of the strings. 

PROKOFIEV: VIOLIN CONCERTOS (Columbia). Isaac Stern is at ease in both concertos, one written just before and the other 18 years after the revolution. Prokofiev is more playful and shocking in the first, simpler and more romantic in the second. The orchestra is the Philadelphia, conducted by Eugene Ormandy. 

BRAHMS: FIRST PIANO CONCERTO (RCA Victor). Van Cliburn digs into the technically difficult passages and plays them eloquently, but when there is nothing to display but the music itself, he has much less to say. With Leinsdorf and the Boston Symphony. 

BRAHMS: FANTASIES OPUS 116 (Deutsche Grammophon). What Van Cliburn lacks in the Brahms concerto, Pianist Wilhelm Kempff supplies here in full measure, condensing a whole spectrum of feelings into these seven melodic miniatures of Brahms’s maturity. 

BEETHOVEN: CHORAL FANTASY (Columbia). Rudolf Serkin gives a crisp and exhilarating performance of this unique work for piano, chorus and orchestra, which foreshadowed the choral finale of the Ninth Symphony. 

HINDEMITH: KAMMERMUSIK NO. 4 and KURT WEILL: VIOLIN CONCERTO (Westminster). The young Hungarian-born violinist Robert Gerle has chosen some nearly trackless territory to explore, but he is led by that experienced pioneer, Hermann Scherchen. conducting the Vienna Wind Group and other instrumentalists. 

CINEMA 

ZORBA THE GREEK. An uproarious bacchanalian bash, superbly adapted from Nikos Kazantzakis’ novel, with a magnificent cast led by Anthony Quinn as Zorba, who teaches a timid British author (Alan Bates) to enjoy women, endure disaster, and drink deep of the wine of life. 

WORLD WITHOUT SUN. Seven pioneer oceanauts spend a month in an underwater tank town, and the result is an eerie, colorful documentary by Oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau (The Silent World). 

THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG. Every word of dialogue is sung in this sparkling French musical by Director Jacques Demy, who tells a rather foolish fable of young love with taste, spirit and style. 

TO LOVE. A merry young widow (Harriet Andersson) lets a red-blooded travel agent (Zbigniew Cybulski) allay her grief. A lightsome sex comedy by Swedish Director Jorn Donner. 

GOLDFINGER. Another slambang spoof of Ian Fleming’s fiction has James Bond (Sean Connery) testing his mettle with a gilded nude, that shapely henchwoman Pussy Galore, and a master criminal who plans to pry the gold out of Fort Knox. 

THE PUMPKIN EATER. Marriage is a sex war in this incisive British drama, and Anne Bancroft shows astonishing versatility as a three-time contender suffering from battle fatigue. 

MY FAIR LADY. The movie version of the Lerner-Loewe musical based on G. B. Shaw remains indestructible showmanship, with Audrey Hepburn as the grimy flower peddler brought to full bloom by Professor Rex Harrison. 

BOOKS 

Best Reading 

RUSSIA AT WAR: 1941-45, by Alexander Werth. A Russian-born British journalist who was on the spot has compiled the most complete English-language history to date of the titanic struggle with Germany. Though the account sometimes leans too heavily on official Soviet explanations-and jargon-the canvas is vast and the details often fascinating. 

FRIEDA LAWRENCE, edited by E. W. Tedlock Jr. Her essays, letters, and a fictionalized memoir transform Mrs. D. H. Lawrence from an offstage presence into a compelling figure passionately loyal to his work if, on one occasion at least, unfaithful to his person. 

A TREASURY OF AMERICAN POLITICAL HUMOR, edited by Leonard C. Lewin. A happy sampling of parody, lampoon and satire that stretches in broad grins from Concord Bridge to the Kennedy Frontier and spares no political ideology, be. it right, left or middle. 

“THE FOUNDING FATHER, by Richard Whalen. This first biography about Joseph P. Kennedy documents much of his astonishing drive for power: how he amassed his large fortune and, when thwarted in his own political ambitions, sent his sons out to fight for the high public office he himself had missed. 

HENRY ADAMS: THE MAJOR PHASE, by Ernest Samuels. The end volume of an imposing life and literary history that penetrates the cynicism of Adams’ later years and traces the emotional and cerebral ferment that resulted in the austere Education and the moving Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres. 

THE HORSE KNOWS THE WAY, by John O’Hara. The fourth recent collection of this prolific writer’s low-keyed chronicles, but not just more of the same. O’Hara’s imagination is even livelier, his psychology broader, and the feeling implicit in a story such as Some Days I Get Such a Longing reaches an intensity that he has rarely equaled since Appointment in Samarra. 

SELECTED LETTERS OF ROBERT FROST, edited by Lawrance Thompson. The nation’s late “poet laureate” was too complicated a man to take full shape through this correspondence alone, but it is a thorough and delightful selection and promises much for Editor Thompson’s official biography due next year. 

LIFE WITH PICASSO, by Francoise Gilot. Picasso’s penultimate mistress tells in bitterly frank detail of her nine turbulent years with the century’s most extraordinary painter-genius.
