### 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 which permits Master Clown Bert Lahr to play hide-and-sucker with the gold diggers of the Yukon. 

DYLAN. A legendary actor, Alec Guinness, plays a legendary poet, Dylan Thomas, 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. 

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 Ka— All times E.S.T. zan’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. 

HELLO, DOLLY! In a bouncy, daffy, romantic Little Old New York musical, Matchmaker Carol Channing juggles lonely hearts and sassily wangles one for herself. 

NOBODY LOVES AN ALBATROSS. Robert Preston is gleeful and guileful as a phony TV writer-producer trying to keep his career from dissolving into a test pattern. 

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK. A proper young lawyer and his minx of a wife are the explosively funny tenants of an apartment that makes the housing shortage look desperate. 

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. 

THE LOVER by Harold Pinter, and PLAY by Samuel Beckett. Pinter’s couple indulge in the aphrodisiac of a make-believe affair, while Beckett’s trio reveal with solemn hu mor the banality of adultery. 

THE TROJAN WOMEN. A powerful revival of the Euripides classic about the agony of women who were to become slaves and bedmates of the conquering Greeks. 

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

RECORDS 

HAPPY END (Columbia) is the puniest of the four small operas written by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht. While it lacks the dramatic and social force of Three penny Opera, it can nearly match its songs. The work has never been better performed than in this version. Lotte Lenya, Weill’s widow and faithful interpreter, memorably croaks Surabaya Johnny, Bilbao-Song, and other dirges from the shadows. 

RISE AND FALL OF THE CITY OF MAHAGONNY (Columbia) suffered a long, unjust obscurity but may soon find its way into the opera repertory, despite the libretto’s bizarre vision of capitalistic morality. This recording, now six years old, has become a classic. Lenya sings the role of Jenny the prostitute, and Heinz Sauerbaum, the great German theater tenor, is Jimmy, her doomed, desperate lover. 

DAS LIED VON DER ERDE (Deutsche Grammophon) is Gustav Mahler’s masterpiece. The song cycle is a rippling reflection of elegiac Chinese moods that now and then surges up to a torrential “Yes!” This version, with Mezzo Soprano Nan Merriman, Tenor Ernst Hafliger and Conductor Eugen Jochum leading the Concertgebouw Orchestra, even surpasses the excellent recording made by Merriman and Hafliger with the Concertgebouw sev en years ago. 

VIENNA, 1908-1914 (Mercury) does not celebrate the vintage waltz-schmalz associated with the era, but the music of Schoenberg, Webern and Berg, who at the time formed a kind of progressive under ground in the city of Johann Strauss. Antal Dorati leads the London Symphony Orchestra in 13 orchestral pieces by the three modern masters. 

REQUIEM MASS IN D MINOR (RCA Victor) was left unfinished when Mozart died at 35, and Conductor Erich Leinsdorf chose it as a symbolic tribute to the late President John F. Kennedy. This superb recording was made by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, with a 180-voice choir and the extraordinary, majestic drawl of Richard Cardinal Gushing, in a solemn pontifical requiem Mass in Boston’s Holy Cross Cathedral. Proceeds from the record sale will go to the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library fund. 

CINEMA 

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 that stirs up the rubble of postwar Japan. 

THE SILENCE. Two sisters united in love-hate, one a lesbian, one a nymphomaniac, desperately 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 (Lolitd) 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, who is 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 FIANCES. 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 

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; only in the past 40 years has informed opinion given up the notion that Negroes are physiologically inferior to whites. 

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 MARTYRED, by Richard Kim. Also on a theme of spiritual agony, this remorseless and controlled first novel is set against the Korean war, and deals with the presumed martyrdom of twelve Christian ministers. Modern sainthood, the author finds, is most often achieved by men racked by doubt. 

THE BARBARY LIGHT, by P. H. Newby. A slight, wise tale about a successful con man who, in an unfortunate moment of candor, decides to tell his wife and his mistress about each other. To his dismay, they become fast friends. 

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 shows in awesome detail how the President’s wife and doctors 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. 

THE WAPSHOT SCANDAL, by John Cheever. 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.” 

REUBEN, REUBEN, by Peter De Vries. A raffish, gifted poet, who closely resembles Dylan Thomas, drops in on an uppercrust U.S. suburb and sets off a series of communal binges. In the hangover, natives and commuters have brooding second thoughts about modern life.
