### 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/)

May 4, 1959 4:00 AM UTC

Room at the Top (British). The best from England in years: a brilliant social satire based on John Braine’s novel about an Angry Young Man in an indifferent old society. 

Compulsion. Meyer Levin’s bestselling casebook of “the crime of the century,” the Leopold-Loeb murder case of 1924, makes a tense, intelligent melodrama. 

Alias Jesse James. The best Bob Hope picture since old fender-nose and the Groaner stopped traveling The Road. 

The Diary of Anne Frank. A massive and moving epic of the German Jewish girl and her family in hiding during World War II. A fine performance by Newcomer Millie Perkins as Anne, and brilliant direction by George Stevens. 

Some Like It Hot. Director Billy Wilder gets as many laughs as possible out of the familiar gimmick of female impersonation, largely because the impersonators are Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, and the object of their attentions a wickedly skilled comedienne: Marilyn Monroe. 

The Mistress (Japanese). A poignant Eastern view of a fallen woman who rises by union with nature rather than by struggle against it. 

He Who Must Die (French). The screen’s most compelling religious statement in years. 

TELEVISION 

Wed., April 29 

Today (NBC, 7-9 a.m.).\* Garroway in Paris for five two-hour programs. 

Wagon Train (NBC, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). Cameron Mitchell as a guest desperado in the high-ranking shoot-’em-up; the hero is Ward Bond. 

Thurs., April 30 

Texas Rodeo (NBC, 7:30-8 p.m.). Bronco riding, steer wrestling and all kinds of cow-country capers in the première of a show that promises plenty of bounce to the ounce. 

Playhouse 90 (CBS, 9:30-11 p.m.). Barry Sullivan, James Whitmore and Lili Darvas in a new play by Merle (Reunion) Miller about World War II’s Battle of the Bulge. 

Fri., May 1 

Markham (CBS, 10:30-11 p.m.). Cinemactor Ray Milland, whose first attempt at a TV series (The Ray Milland Show) was somewhat less than spectacular, takes to the air waves again as a sleuthful lawyer with a penchant for roaming the garden spots of the world. 

Sun., May 3 

Kaleidoscope (NBC, 5-6 p.m.). Behind and in front of the scenes at the Christiani Brothers Circus. 

The Twentieth Century (CBS, 6:30-7 p.m.). One of the most consistently interesting TV documentaries reruns the first part of its biography of Winston Churchill: Man of the Century. 

Primer on Geneva (NBC, 7:30-8 p.m.). Just that—a background briefing on the upcoming foreign ministers meeting delivered in words of one syllable by a team of NBC reporters. 

At the Movies (NBC, 10-11 p.m.). Comedian Sid Caesar returns for a “special” with Art Carney, Cliff Norton, Audrey Meadows. 

Mon., May 4 

Voice of Firestone (ABC, 9-9:30 p.m.). Pat Suzuki, Florence Henderson, Lisa Kirk and other voices warbling through “An Evening with Richard Rodgers.” 

THEATER 

On Broadway 

A Raisin in the Sun. The New York Drama Critics Circle Prize play about a South Side Chicago Negro family and its deferred dreams, budding hopes and inner conflicts. Honestly observed, superlatively acted. 

A Party with Betty Comden and Adolph Green. An infectious romp through movie parodies, songs and skits this talented pair wrote for top musicals, e.g., On the Town, and hilarious sight gags. The mood: New Yorky. 

Redhead. A faltering musical whodunit kept on the spin through the matchless body-English of Musicomedienne Gwen Verdon. 

J.B. Job in the guise of a wealthy modern businessman. Though Archibald MacLeish’s version lacks Biblical richness of speech and rigor of logic, it brings excitement to the theater. 

La Plume de Ma Tante. The French are too funny for words, and scarcely need or use them in this madcap revue. 

A Touch of the Poet. The late great Playwright Eugene O’Neill makes a powerful if somewhat windy case for his favorite belief, i.e., illusions make and unmake man. 

The Pleasure of His Company. Overage Playboy Cyril Ritchard returns to the family hearth just in time to throw his daughter’s wooden fiancé on the fire. 

My Fair Lady raises a topper, The Music Man sounds a trumpet, and West Side Story swings a switchblade in three memorable musical salutes. 

Off Broadway 

Mark Twain Tonight! Hal Holbrook, 34, makes Samuel Clemens, 70, live again for two hours in a brilliant and delightful display of recaptured Americana. 

On Tour 

The Warm Peninsula. Julie Harris as a provincial have-not wants to join the social haves in Miami. In SCHENECTADY, UTICA and ROCHESTER. 

My Fair Lady in ST. LOUIS, Two for the Seesaw in LOS ANGELES, and The Music Man in CHICAGO do justice to the Broadway originals. 

The Dark at the Top of the Stairs. William Inge’s characters are alone, afraid, in a world they halfway made. In MINNEAPOLIS. 

Look Back in Anger. Playwright John Osborne rants at the world with articulate and often artistic fury. In SAN FRANCISCO. 

BOOKS 

Best Reading 

Points of View, by W. Somerset Maugham. Five civilized conversational essays, another “absolutely last” book by the Old Party, in the engaging tone of a master yarner chatting over ancient brandy. 

Endurance, by Alfred Lansing. Sir Ernest Shackleton’s foolish-heroic expedition of 1915, one of the most audacious assaults that the Antarctic ever defeated, a breathless saga re-created in well-modulated prose. 

The Marauders, by Charlton Ogburn Jr. Merrill’s Marauders went through some of the most vicious infantry fighting of World War II. Veteran Ogburn recalls the savage Burmese actions with sharp description and incisive reflection. 

By the North Gate, by Gwyn Griffin. A taut little novel that shows Britons at an outlying African desert post trying unsuccessfully to stand up under the white man’s burden. 

The King’s War: 1641-1647, by C. V. Wedgwood. History is a people’s memory, and few have summoned up Britain’s more vividly than Wedgwood in this scholarly account of Cavalier v. Roundhead. 

Mountolive, by Lawrence Durrell. An exciting writer adds politics to a projected tetralogical cycle (others: Justine, Balthazar) that wheels around the magnetic hub of Alexandria. 

The Notion of Sin, by Robert McLaughlin. A coterie of non-blue-chip sophisticates examined by a market analyst who knows both their prices and their values. 

The Middle Age of Mrs. Eliot, by Angus Wilson. An English widow sentenced under the law of diminishing returns to social work, the company of Angry Young Men, and bohemian sex. 

Borstal Boy, by Brendan Behan. A lively swearing of the green by Ireland’s latest IRAte young man. 

The Fig Tree, by Aubrey Menen. Nature gets the last laugh on science in this aphrodisiacal spoof. 

Doctor Zhivago, by Boris Pasternak. The eternal validity of the moral struggle affirmed by a man who is living it.
