### 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 

ANY WEDNESDAY. Sandy Dennis as a kept woman in a peignoir looks about as sophisticated as a teen-ager wobbling in her first pair of heels. Later, clutching a closetful of balloons, she appears about to take off, which this delightfully wacky comedy does from the start. 

FOXY is a vaudeville version of Volpone that permits Master Clown Bert Lahr to play hide-and-sucker with the golddiggers of the Yukon. 

DYLAN. A legendary actor, Alec Guin ness, plays a legendary poet, Dylan Thom as, during his punishing reading tours of the U.S. The drama is sustained by Dylan’s sly humor, poetic insights, self-abrasive remorse and fierce, hurting battles with his wife. 

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK tries to corner the laugh market in two hours and just about does it. Playwright Neil Simon plants six-day newlyweds in a five-flight walk-up where it snows through a missing skylight, and the fun is practically incessant. 

NOBODY LOVES AN ALBATROSS, but everybody loves Robert Preston, an enchanting rogue, a human jinx, and a TV python of mass media production. Ronald Alexander’s comedy is caustic, pertinent and wildly amusing. 

HELLO DOLLY! is an effusive, gladhanding, toe-bounding musical set in turn-of-the-century Manhattan. Carol Channing is the evening’s superwoman, and she acts and sings like a cat that has swallowed a cat. 

Off Broadway 

THE BLOOD KNOT, by Atholl Fugard. 

Linked in a funny and scalding love-hate relationship, two half brothers, one black and one white, play out their fantasies in a tin shack in South Africa and become symbols that laugh, cry and bleed. 

AFTER THE FALL is a nightlong session of group therapy conducted for his own self-justification by Arthur Miller, with special attention to his mother and his wives, notably Marilyn Monroe. Elia Kazan’s staging is electric, but Miller has not put enough distance between his life and his craft to fashion a play. It alternates, in repertory, with Eugene O’Neill’s Marco Millions and S. N. Behrman’s But For Whom Charlie. 

THE TROJAN WOMEN, directed by Michael Cacoyannis from a translation by Edith Hamilton, gives U.S. theatergoers a rare sense of the power, agony, and cyclonic passion of the Euripidean classic. The players movingly depict the fate of a small handful of proud women caught in the tormenting clutch of war and their Greek conquerors. 

IN WHITE AMERICA. This series of documentary dramatic sketches about racial intolerance is moving in its self-contained pain, playfully barbed in its humor. 

RECORDS 

BELAFONTE AT THE GREEK THEATER (RCA Victor) is a two-LP argument by Harry Belafonte, his singers and dancers that music can sear the conscience while it delights the ear; the occasional murmurs of exhilaration are the sound of his audience in the act of understanding. 

WE SHALL OVERCOME (Columbia) presents Pete Seeger and an even more sympatico audience in a recital of folkish song and sentiment; among the songs is that trenchant critique of the U.S. landscape Little Boxes (TIME, Feb. 28). 

THE TIMES THEY ARE ACHANGIN’ (Columbia) is Folksinger Bob Dylan’s way of singin’, but that’s his way of thinkin’ too, and he means every word of it. His particular fantasy, sentimental but appealing: life only comes into perspective when seen through tears of pity. 

WHERE I’M BOUND (Elektra) is a gazetteer to the musical milieu of Folksinger Bob Gibson. It stretches only from The Waves Roll Out to Betsy from Pike, but Gibson’s command of it is elegant and secure. 

LESTER FLATT & EARL SCRUGGS (Columbia) have a huge new audience of bluegrass Yankees, but they still sound best down home in Nashville. The two Grand Ol’ Opry stars are here presented in a live concert at Vanderbilt University, and they pick right through the heart of their Rebel song book. 

AIN’T NOTHIN’ BUT THE BLUES (Columbia) is the first album of an earthy, hard-rocking blues singer named Judy Roderick. Her Mildred Bailey style and repertory may be an anachronism—but what a pleasant anachronism. Among the songs: Miss Brown to You; Brother, Can You Spare a Dime; and Hoagy Carmichael’s Baltimore Oriole. 

CINEMA 

BECKET. Peter O’Toole as King Henry II, and Richard Burton as the martyred Archbishop of Canterbury, duel for acting honors in this richly tapestried film version of Jean Anouilh’s drama. 

THE SERVANT. A callow young aristocrat meets his master when he employs a “gentleman’s gentleman,” played to evil perfection by Dirk Bogarde in U.S. Director Joseph Losey’s slick, spooky essay on class distinction in Britain. 

YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW. In three lusty fables directed by Vittorio De Sica and co-starring Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren proves herself a versatile comedienne, a whole Italian street scene rolled into one woman. 

STRAY DOG. A rookie detective (Toshiro Mifune) tracks a killer through the Tokyo underworld in a newly imported 1949 melodrama by Director Akira Kurosawa, which stirs up the rubble of postwar Japan. 

THE SILENCE. Two sisters united in love-hate, one a lesbian, one a nymphomaniac, try to fill the emptiness of their souls with physical passion as they act out a tortured drama in which the only innocents are a child and an old man. Not Ingmar Bergman’s best, but memorable. 

THE FIRE WITHIN. A morbidly fascinating drama, directed by France’s Louis (The Lovers) Malle, climaxes in the suicide of a charming, alcoholic gigolo (Maurice Ronet). 

DR. STRANGELOVE, OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB. Stanley (Lolita) Kubrick’s nightmare comedy offers fine performances by George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden and the ubiquitous Peter Sellers. 

THE GUEST. The screen version of Harold Pinter’s drama (The Caretaker) retains its major asset, Donald Pleasence, still seedily eloquent in the title role. 

SUNDAY IN NEW YORK. As a vacillating virgin who fears she has missed a lot, Jane Fonda makes the way of all flesh appear refreshingly healthy. 

THE FIANCÉS. Old love refurbished is the theme of a poignant little masterwork by Italian Director Ermanno Olmi (The Sound of Trumpets). 

TO BED OR NOT TO BED. As an Italian fur merchant on the loose in Stockholm, Alberto Sordi finds Sweden’s moral climate unseasonably cool. 

TOM JONES. Ten Oscar nominations are the latest evidence that Fielding’s picaresque 18th century novel has become a classic screen comedy 

BOOKS 

Best Reading 

ALEXANDER HAMILTON AND THE CONSTITUTION, by Clinton Rossiter. A major reappraisal of the flamboyant Hamilton’s role in the founding of the U.S. Government by a historian who ten years ago dismissed him as “reactionary.” Taking a long second look, Rossiter finds Hamilton “the prophet of industrial America.” 

THE OLD MAN AND ME, by Elaine Dundy. The author of The Dud Avocado turns out another funny novel on the very same theme: the trials of a pretty, eager American girl trying to get into the snobbish London social orbit. 

RACE: THE HISTORY OF AN IDEA IN AMERICA, by Thomas F. Gossett. The author contends that racism would not have endured so long without the wholehearted support of intellectuals and leaders from Thomas Jefferson to Theodore Roosevelt. 

MISS LEONORA WHEN LAST SEEN, by Peter Taylor. Fifteen stories about corrosive marriages and disfiguring age-quiet stories, right on target, that may well outlive their flashier contemporaries. 

THE CHILDREN AT THE GATE, by Edward Lewis Wallant. The author’s last novel, completed before his death last year at 36, tells of a daft but saintly man and how another slowly takes life and grace from him. 

THE WAPSHOT SCANDAL, by John Cheever (see BOOKS). In this tender, moral tale of uprooted America, the 19th century Wapshots come to painful, if comic terms with the 20th. The survivors of The Wapshot Chronicle neither mourn nor imitate the old ways but cherish their spirit as “a vision of life as hearty and fleeting as laughter.” 

THE MARTYRED, by Richard Kim. Also dealing with spiritual agony, this remorseless and controlled first novel takes the Korean war as its setting and the presumed martyrdom of twelve Christian ministers as its theme. 

WHEN THE CHEERING STOPPED, by Gene Smith. For the last 17 months of his presidency, Woodrow Wilson was grievously ill, mentally and physically. Reporter Smith piles up evidence to show that the President’s wife and doctor kept the knowledge from the public while “the U.S. Government went out of business.” 

ONE FAT ENGLISHMAN, by Kingsley Amis. The author’s best novel since Lucky Jim tells of the misadventures of a rich, snobbish English publisher among some very irreverent Americans.
