### 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 

YOU KNOW I CAN’T HEAR YOU WHEN THE WATER’S RUNNING. Robert Anderson taps a rich vein of comedy—sex—in four playlets that deal with sex on the stage, in middle age, as a parental concern, as a dimming memory. Martin Balsam, Eileen Heckart and George Grizzard give a high polish to each nugget of humor. 

THE HOMECOMING. In his play about the prodigal family of a visiting son, Harold Pinter uses words as the sea uses waves, catching his audience up in an inexorable rhythm, washing over them with sound, bringing forth currents and undercurrents of meaning. 

BLACK COMEDY. Fireworks are best in the dark, and when the lights blow out in a London flat, a situation fraught with friction sets off sparks of hilarity. An agile and acrobatic cast keeps Peter Shaffer’s latest dramatic exercise in amusing motion. 

THE APA COMPANY, directed by Ellis Rabb, offers dramatic works for practically every taste this season in its repertory: War and Peace, The Wild Duck, Right You Are if Yon Think You Arc and You Can’t Take It with You. 

Off Broadway 

HAMP tries a British youth for deserting when the blood and din of World War I overwhelm him. Though innocent of evil, he is guilty of breach of duty, and must be condemned. Robert Salvio is movingly effective as the frightened Private Hamp. 

AMERICA HURRAH takes the temperature of urban U.S.A. and finds an icy emptiness at the core. Playwright Jean-Claude van Itallie deep freezes moments of modern American life in a chilling, stirring theatrical evening. 

CINEMA 

NAKED AMONG THE WOLVES. The story of the concentration camps has been filmed before—and with greater skill—but the theme of the indomitable prisoners bears frequent retelling. This East German tale of the inmates of Buchenwald attempting to hide a three-year-old boy from their Nazi torturers gives credence to the hope for civilization’s ultimate survival. 

ACCIDENT. The scene is Oxford. The story involves a wan don (Dirk Bogarde) who tries to be a Don Juan with a nubile undergraduate while his wife (Vivian Merchant) is pregnant. Harold Pinter wrote the cryptic, skeletal dialogue, Joseph Losey directed. 

LA VIE DE CHATEAU. French Director Jean-Paul Rappeneau has an appetite for the absurd and an unerring eye for casting in this fresh and funny farce about how in Gaul all marriages seem to be divided into three partners. 

PERSONA. Ingmar Bergman is deliberately difficult, but nonetheless fascinating, in this study of two women (Bibi Andersson, Liv Ullman) whose personalities merge. 

ULYSSES. James Joyce’s masterpiece is a short story that exploded into a summa of 30 centuries of Western culture. Joseph Strick’s adaptation is merely a pictorial précis of some of the principal episodes—but a good one. 

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. Shakespeare possibly would not have recognized his comedy, but he certainly would have enjoyed watching Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in Franco Zeffirelli’s lusty, sensuous production. 

FALSTAFF. Orson Welles may be the first actor in the history of the theater to appear too fat to play Shakespeare’s “huge bombard of sack, that stuffed cloak bag of guts.” In his compilation of five of the Bard’s plays, some Wellesian genius flickers but does not burn brightly enough to illuminate the long dull stretches. 

BOOKS 

Best Reading 

A MAN CALLED LUCY, by Pierre Accoce and Pierre Quet, recounts the career of Swiss-based Master Spy Rudolf (“Lucy”) Roessler, who accurately warned the Allies of every invasion from Poland to Russia itself—and was not believed. 

JUST AROUND THE CORNER: A HIGHLY SELECTIVE HISTORY OF THE THIRTIES, by Robert Bendiner. A wry recollection of the not-so-long-ago days of 3.2 beer, 5¢ apples. $4-a-month domestics and the Great Depression. 

LANGUAGE AND SILENCE, by George Steiner. At 38, Steiner has earned a name as one of the leading U.S. literary critics and a possible successor to Edmund Wilson. This collection of eloquent essays shows why. 

MAY WE BORROW YOUR HUSBAND? AND OTHER COMEDIES OF THE SEXUAL LIFE, by Graham Greene. Though sex is the comic ingredient in this collection of short stories, Greene artfully proves that there is no desire so deep as the simple desire for companionship. 

A MEETING BY THE RIVER, by Christopher Isherwood. In his usual charming, disarming way, Isherwood tells of a dissembling rascal who tries every psychological wile to keep his saintly brother from taking his final vows as a swami. 

THE CHOSEN, by Chaim Potok, pits a pair of Jewish teen-agers against one another with a backdrop of Brooklyn in the closing days of World War II. 

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BERTRAND RUSSELL. Old (94) Mathematician-Philosopher Russell’s own witty account of his dour and dotty early life and career never explains—but does help people understand—why he is such a conundrum. 

A SPORT AND A PASTIME, by James Salter. While his characters fall in love, the author has a love affair of his own with rural France. A fine and beautifully written novel. 

FATHERS, by Herbert Gold. A nostalgic search for the essence of Jewish fatherhood by a loving son who tempers sentiment with just the right amount of irony and cynical insight. 

THE UNICORN GIRL, by Caroline Glyn. A rangy, clumsy 13-year-old goes off to Girl Guide camp to find a few friends, but finds herself instead. Along the way, Novelist Glyn, only 19, points out some of the hilariously muddled drills that the Guides perform with girlish intensity. 

JOURNEY THROUGH A HAUNTED LAND: THE NEW GERMANY, by Amos Elon. A searching and compassionate study of today’s Germany by an Israeli journalist who never forgets that he could have been a victim. 

DISRAELI, by Robert Blake. The wiles and wit of Britain’s most prodigal Victorian Prime Minister, whose life as recounted in this excellent biography proves even richer than the many versions of its myth.
