### 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.

N.E.T. PLAYHOUSE (shown on Fridays). “The World of Carl Sandburg.” Uta Hagen, Fritz Weaver, Folk Singer Carolyn Hester and a singing group known as the Tarriers get together for an informal recitation of Sandburg’s poetry and prose with musical interpolations from Sandburg’s American Songbag.

THEATER 

On Broadway 

THE WILD DUCK. The APA Repertory Company touches off match flares of understanding in Henrik Ibsen’s examination of the human havoc that can result from too ruthless a devotion to honesty, but its production, while accomplished, is a trifle too cozy to carry off the playwright’s crueler intention: to drag everyone and everything into unrelenting light. 

THE HOMECOMING. It is distinctly unlikely that Broadway will see a play surpassing this Harold Pinter masterwork during the current season. The mesmeric drama is innately primitive, Oedipal, conjugal, and its mythic war between the sexes ends as that war aways does: no winners, all wounded. 

AT THE DROP OF ANOTHER HAT is a visit with an urbane, engaging pair of hosts, Michael Flanders and Donald Swann, who invite those devoted to civilized wit in for a bit of a daft do. 

THE STAR-SPANGLED GIRL. Two earnest, impoverished and slightly manic intellectuals (Anthony Perkins and Richard Benjamin) are brought to their knees by an All-American girl swimmer (Connie Stevens) who has muscles in her head as well as her arms. While the whip of wit does not crack as in Neil Simon’s past hits, he remains an agile jokemaster in the Broadway ring. 

I DO! I DO! has an undone book, badly done music, and smashingly done performances by two megatons of the U.S. musical stage, Mary Martin and Robert Preston. The Fourposter, on which this tale of a long-married, much-loving couple is based, is little more than a prop for their talents. 

WALKING HAPPY, a low-voltage musical based on Hobson’s Choice, is switched on brightly by British Comedian Norman Wisdom. Louise Troy is his ever-loving, ever-perfect foil, and Danny Daniels’ choreography makes it all jolly good fun. 

CABARET utilizes expressionistic techniques to re-create the frenzied, bitter gaiety of prewar Berlin. While its framing is brilliantly brassy, its moods strikingly defined, the subject matter of the book is dull and amorphous. 

SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL. Eighteenth century Londoners frequented Richard Sheridan’s classroom of comedy to be taught their three Rs: the Risque, Rumor, Revenge. The APA go through their lessons with a flick of their wits. 

Off Broadway 

EH? And what if Godot had arrived? And what if he were even more absurd than the Beckett boys who awaited him? He probably would have come as Valentine Brose, the nonsenstential anti-hero of Henry Livings’ balmy farce. 

AMERICA HURRAH. Playwright Jean-Claude van Itallie casts a searing eye and scathing glance at the contemporary American landscape for an inventive, rewarding evening of modern theater. 

CINEMA 

GRAND PRIX. With the help of Cinerama, Metrocolor and Super Panavision, Director John Frankenheimer has captured most of the excitement—and all of the noise—of last year’s nine-race Grand Prix competition for Formula One racing cars. Top billing goes to Yves Montand, James Garner, Eva Marie Saint and Franchise Hardy, but the true stars are the cars, performing in some of the most spectacular sequences ever filmed of metal in motion. 

BLOWUP. A young, successful pop photographer casually takes some pictures of an amorous couple strolling in the park, and against his will is drawn into a mystery that totally absorbs and challenges him. The director is Italy’s Michelangelo Antonioni, filming for the first time in England and in English. 

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS. Acclaimed as one of the best films of 1966, this screen adaptation of the Broadway play chronicles the tragic story of the conflict between Sir Thomas More (Paul Scofield), a noble Christian who must stand fast on his principles, and Henry VIII (Robert Shaw), a childlike king who must have the obedience and approval of his subjects. 

GAMBIT. The perfect crime in this frenetic suspense comedy is described twice—first, as a criminal imagines it will happen; second, as it actually does happen. Both times around, Michael Caine plays the crook and Shirley MacLaine his larcenous accomplice. 

GOAL! This two-hour documentary helps to explain why soccer is the world’s most popular spectator sport. Cameras from all angles have captured the ferocious spirit, footloose genius and demonic will to win of the 16 teams that competed in England last summer for the 1966 World Cup. 

BOOKS 

Best Reading 

DEATH ON THE INSTALLMENT PLAN, by Louis-Ferdinand Celine. This scabrous recollection of a wretched Parisian childhood, first published in 1936, has become the schoolbook of black humorists from Genet to Bruce Jay Friedman. The new, unexpurgated translation is by Ralph Manheim. RAKOSSY, by Cecelia Holland. A wild fictional ride through 16th century Hungary in which Magyar does in Magyar until the Turkish invaders put a temporary end to it all at the battle of Mohacs. 

LETTERS OF JAMES JOYCE, edited by Richard Ellmann. The letters provide the only-explanations Joyce ever offered about his revolutionary techniques in the novel, and also reveal the bohemian artist as doting husband and father. 

PAPER LION, by George Plimpton. The lowly Detroit Lions of 1963 may outlive proud Green Bay, enshrined as they are in Plimpton’s elegant and humorous prose. Plimpton tried out for the team with disastrous results, but his memoir of pro football is a long gainer for the fan and the nonfan as well. 

HAROLD NICOLSON: DIARIES AND LETTERS, 1930-1939, edited by Nigel Nicolson. One might as well try to put aside chocolates as this aristocrat’s account of the fashions and foibles of prewar London. 

SPEAK, MEMORY, by Vladimir Nabokov. Robbed of his Russian youth by the revolution, Novelist Nabokov has tirelessly caressed his memories of it in this autobiography, now published in its final form —a hymn to childhood.
