### 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.

[TIME](https://time.com/author/time/)

Dec 14, 1962 5:00 AM UTC

Everybody Go Home. Alberto Sordi is fairly funny in a fairly funny comedy about Italy’s armed farces during World War II. 

The Reluctant Saint. Maximilian Schell attains new histrionic heights in the amusing, amazing story of San Giuseppe of Cupertino (1603-63), a saint who could literally fly. 

Two for the Seesaw. Love comes to Gittel Moscowitz in a pretty funny film version of William Gibson’s play about what happens when a blue-eyed Babbitt from Omaha meets a blackstocking in Greenwich Village. 

The Long Absence. The old reliable Enoch Arden story, told with skill and significant variations by France’s Henri Colpi. 

Mutiny on the Bounty. MGM’s $18.5 million reconstruction of The Bounty goes bounding along at a great rate for two hours, but all at once the story springs a leak and sinks beneath contempt. Marlon Brando is a sight too cute as Fletcher Christian, but even in disaster Trevor Howard makes a superlative curmudgeon of Captain Bligh. 

Gypsy. Rosalind Russell is loud and funny in this stripping good show, from the Broadway musical abstracted from Gypsy Rose Lee’s autobiography. 

Billy Budd. Herman Melville’s didactic tale has been transformed by Peter Ustinov—who directed the picture, helped write the script, and plays one of the leading roles—into a vividly affecting film. 

Long Day’s Journey into Night. Eugene O’Neill’s play, one of the greatest of the century, is brought to the screen without significant changes and with a better than competent cast: Katharine Hepburn, Ralph Richardson, Jason Robards Jr. and Dean Stockwell. 

TELEVISION 

Wed., Dec. 12 CBS Reports (CBS, 7:30-8:30 p.m.).\* Two days before the Mariner II space probe passes within 21,000 miles of Venus, CBS probes the possible discoveries that its instruments could make. 

The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 9-9:30 p.m.). The Clampetts open fire on some of their Hollywood neighbors in the show that has topped the season’s ratings. 

Fri., Dec. 14 The Jack Paar Program (NBC, 10-11 p.m.). Films of Paar & family in Africa plus Guest Stars Jonathan Winters and Robert Merrill. 

Eyewitness (CBS, 10:30-11 p.m.). The top news story of the week. 

Sat., Dec. 15 Football (CBS, 4:30 p.m. to end). 

Cleveland Browns v. San Francisco Forty-Niners. 

As Caesar Sees It (ABC, 8:30-9 p.m.). 

Having conquered unfamiliar Broadway in Little Me, great Caesar is having a rough go this fall in his own accustomed medium. This is his third of nine specials, hopefully the first good one. 

Sun., Dec. 16 

This Is NBC News (NBC, 4:30-5 p.m.). Synopsis of the top news stories of the week. 

The Twentieth Century (CBS, 6-6:30 p.m.). The story of two Russian divisions that defected during the Second World War and fought for the Nazis. 

The Sunday Night Movie (ABC, 8-10 p.m.). Orson Welles and Gregory Peck in Moby Dick. 

The Voice of Firestone (ABC, 10-10:30 p.m.). Guests: Singers Howard Keel and Patrice Munsel. Dancers Melissa Hayden and Jacques d’Amboise. 

Howard K. Smith (ABC, 10:30-11 p.m.). News and comment, but mostly comment.

Close-Up (ABC, 10:30-11 p.m.). A sweeping look at seven-year-old kids everywhere, from Japan to Texas, Italy to India, what they think, do, say and suffer. 

THEATER 

On Broadway 

Never Too Late, by Sumner Arthur Long, is a one-gag, all-night laugh show about a chagrined man of 60 who finds himself facing the unexpected onslaught of second fatherhood. As the father-to-be, Paul Ford is an excruciatingly funny anatomy of melancholy, and Orson Bean, as his son-in-law, is a hilariously beguiling buffoon. 

Little Me. In a one-man comic population explosion, Sid Caesar plays all seven men in the farcical musical-comedy saga of Belle Poitrine, the all-American show girl originally lampooned in Patrick Dennis’ novel. For rampagingly frivolous fun, this is it. 

Beyond the Fringe. Four monstrously clever and wildly amusing young graduates of Oxford and Cambridge gleefully smash the icons of any and all Establishments, from Shakespeare to nuclear defense. 

Tchin-Tchin. Opposites, who are also rejects, attract each other in this sad, amusing, pathetic fable about an Italo-American contractor and a proper Englishwoman who try to be adult about their mutually adulterous spouses. Margaret Leighton and Anthony Quinn give the two roles rare distinction. 

Mr. President impeaches taste and demeans the considerable talents of Robert Ryan and Nanette Fabray, but the public has given this musical an unparalleled vote of confidence with an advance ticket sale of over $2,600,000\. 

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, by Edward Albee, examines the sterility of a marriage, and of modern U.S. life, with cold fury. As the warring couple, Arthur Hill and Uta Hagen give performances of indelible brilliance. 

The Affair has been expertly adapted from C. P. Snow’s novel and revolves around the issue of justice toward an ideological enemy. A predominantly British cast evokes the donnish flavor of a university common room turned courtroom. 

Off Broadway 

The Dumbwaiter and The Collection, 

by Harold Pinter. These two one-acters combine the comedy and menace of England’s most powerfully provocative playwright. Alan Schneider’s direction of a splendid cast seismographically records volcanic shifts of meaning. 

BOOKS 

Best Reading 

The Conquest of London and The Middle Years, Vols. II and III of Henry James, by Leon Edel. Author Edel’s vast work, which will run to four volumes and which promises to be the definitive biography of James, is written with a scholar’s exhaustive combing of detail and a novelist’s flair for mood and motive. 

Two Stories and a Memory, by Giuseppe di Lampedusa. Excellent minor pieces by the Sicilian prince whose elegiac novel of nobility’s erosion, The Leopard, was a bestseller two years ago. The author’s memoir of the great houses he lived in as a child is particularly good. 

The Cape Cod Lighter, by John O’Hara. The author writes better than ever of heels and down-at-the-heels in Gibbsville, Pa., and small-town New Jersey. 

Tale for the Mirror, by Hortense Calisher. One of the rare mistresses of the short story in a three-star excursion to Exurbia-on-Hudson. 

The Community of Scholars and Drawing the Line, by Paul Goodman. An uneven but provocative display of literary fireworks by a critic who finds U.S. colleges and cold war thinking otiose. 

Renoir, My Father, by Jean Renoir. The author, who as a boy sat for his father, the great Impressionist painter, now turns portraitist, and his biography is one of the most likable in years. , 

The Letters of Oscar Wilde, edited by Rupert Hart-Davis. This first complete collection reveals the thoughtful side of a man whose life often seemed dedicated to the unimportance of being earnest.
