### 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.

Friday, April 3 BOB HOPE PRESENTS THE CHRYSLER THEATER (NBC, 8:30-9:30 p.m.). John Houseman produced this drama in which Anthony Franciosa plans a filling-station robbery.

Tuesday, April 7 BELL TELEPHONE HOUR (NBC, 10-11 p.m.). Hostess Ginger Rogers, singers (Robert Merrill, James McCracken, Hoagy Carmichael, Helen O’Connell) and dancers (Edward Villella, Patricia McBride). 

 THEATER 

On Broadway ANY WEDNESDAY. Sandy (Dennis) is dandy as an executive sweetie kept in an executive suite. She appears to be crying through her smiles while playgoers laugh till they cry. 

FOXY. Agile in the choreography of cowardice, Bert Lahr leers maniacally, gargles dialogue, and scurries up the scenery in this zany musical about fool’s gold in the Yukon. 

\* All times E.S.T.

DYLAN. Alec Guinness as Dylan Thomas during his U.S. reading tours keeps up a marathon dance of death, pacing it with poetry, word plays, promises—unkept—and an inner pain that liquor cannot kill. 

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

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. 

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. 

Off Broadway 

THE BLOOD KNOT. Playwright Atholl Fugard traps a black and white pair of half brothers in a tin shack in South Africa, which proves to be a no-exit hell for a conflict that is bruisingly bitter, ruefully humorous, and much more than skin deep. 

AFTER THE FALL. Arthur Miller subjects himself, his mother and his wives, notably Marilyn Monroe, to a tortured overintellectualized cross-examination in this play about the end of innocence and the burden of guilt. 

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. It movingly depicts the fate of a handful of proud women caught in the tormenting clutch of war and their Greek conquerors. 

IN WHITE AMERICA has as its theme the oppression of the Negro, and the reactions to this pressure—in humor, in cynicism, in anger and in sorrow—are as numerous as the dramatic sketches that recount them. 

RECORDS 

FALSTAFF (RCA Victor). With a princely cast that includes Geraint Evans, Giulietta Simionato, Mirella Freni and Rosalind Elias, Verdi’s masterwork is sung better than ever before on records. But Conductor Georg Solti does not live up to the Falstaff achieved by Arturo Toscanini in his famous 1950 recording. His beat is too rigid to be helpful to his singers. 

NAUSICAA (Composers Recordings Inc.). This modern pastiche of Homer by Poet Robert Graves and Composer Peggy Glanville-Hicks suffers only the vice of murkiness: Nausicaa becomes Penelope, Odysseus becomes Aethon, the chorus sings in Greek to the soloists’ English, and the recording omits long, crucial passages. But the music is electric, the myth is fey and absorbing, and the performance—recorded live from the opera’s premiere at the 1961 Athens Festival—is as warm and engaging as a Greek night. 

A PORTRAIT OF MANON (RCA Victor). Soprano Anna Moffo is ideally gifted to sing Manon—both Puccini’s and Massenet’s. In this two-LP collection of scenes from both operas, she enhances Puccini by shading and softening the music where it is too bold, then enriches Massenet with a vivid, vibrant performance of his pastel score. 

HAYDN: THE STURM UND DRANG SYMPHONIES (Vanguard). Haydn was a bit overwrought in the years when he composed these six pivotal symphonies, but one would never know it from these mellow recordings by Antonio Janigro and the Radio Zagreb Symphony Orchestra. All three LPs are superbly recorded, but Janigro mutes the voice of Haydn’s turmoil under a soft quilt of woodwinds. 

MOZART: PIANO CONCERTOS NOS. 19 AND 20 (Columbia). The rapport between Pianist Rudolf Serkin and Conductor George Szell dates back to their childhood in Vienna, but seldom have they made more of it than in this nonpareil performance of Mozart in his gayest (19) and blackest (20) moods. 

PROKOFIEV: SYMPHONY-CONCERTO FOR CELLO AND ORCHESTRA (RCA Victor). Prokofiev had no affinity for the cello, but with the counsel of Soviet Cellist Mstislav Rostropoyich, he made his cello concerto one of his loveliest works. Here it is impeccably performed by Erich Leinsdorf, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Cellist Samuel Mayes in a recording that also includes Gabriel Fauré’s noble little Élēgie. 

CINEMA 

THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT spins hilariously around Tippy Walker and Merrie Spaeth, who commit grand larceny in their scene-stealing debut as a pair of overprivileged Manhattan teen-agers with a yen for Concert Pianist Peter Sellers. 

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. One of the season’s brightest collaborations offers Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni, blossoming out as a first-rate comedy team in three ribald fables directed by Vittorio De Sica. 

THE SILENCE. In a bold drama that reflects his own uncertainties about religious faith, Sweden’s film genius Ingmar Bergman has an innocent child witness the death of the soul in two tortured sisters, one a lesbian, one a nymphomaniac. 

STRAY DOG, made in 1949 and just released here, is a taut Japanese chase film that vividly demonstrates the promise since fulfilled by Star Toshiro Mifune and Director Akira Kurosawa. 

DR. STRANGELOVE, OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB. The ubiquitous Peter Sellers and George C. Scott head a fine cast in Stanley Kubrick’s explosive fantasy about inadvertent nuclear war. 

THE FIRE WITHIN. France’s Louis Malle (The Lovers) studies a world-weary gigolo (Maurice Ronet) who pours out the heeltap of his charm and drinks a final toast to death. 

THE GUEST. Donald Pleasence brilliantly repeats his stage role as a ranting old derelict in the film adaptation of Harold Pinter’s The Caretaker. 

TOM JONES. Five of the 20 actors nominated for 1963 Oscars are doing their “best” in this splendid movie version of Fielding’s racy 18th century classic.

In this excellent novel, the Wapshots learn to live without the scaffolding of eccentricity they leaned on, and recognize the continuity of tradition prevailing amid the absurdities and uncertainties of modern life (TIME Cover, March 27). 

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.” 

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 some of their flashier contemporaries. 

THE MARTYRED, by Richard Kim. This remorseless and controlled first novel takes the Korean war as its setting and the presumed martyrdom of twelve Christian ministers as its theme. 

ONE FAT ENGLISHMAN, by Kingsley Amis. The author’s best novel since Lucky Jim tells of a self-satisfied English libertine and how some unawed Americans let the air out of his ballooning ego. 

WHEN THE CHEERING STOPPED, by Gene Smith. During the last 17 months of Woodrow Wilson’s presidency, Wilson was crippled mentally and physically by a stroke, but his wife hid his true condition. Reporter Smith re-creates the time and assesses the effects of the long vacuum.
