### 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.

 The allied bombs that hit Vienna’s Albertina Palace in March 1945 destroyed nine magnificent neoclassical staterooms and reduced stretches of richly decorated façade to rubble. The museum’s priceless art collection — including masterpieces by Michelangelo and Rembrandt — had been moved by the Nazis to safe storage in salt mines near Salzburg, and survived unharmed. But the former Habsburg residence became a long-term casualty of war. Postwar refurbishment, from 1948-52, was a cash-strapped compromise of gray concrete exteriors; the grand entrance was replaced by a door at the side of the building. Visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of the palace’s former beauty found badly lit salons displaying cleverly executed facsimiles of such celebrated works as Albrecht Dürer’s _Praying Hands_. 

Exactly 58 years after the bombs fell and nine years since it closed for a 100 million makeover, the Albertina opened last month to reveal a stunning symbiosis of traditional and modern architecture: glorious, handcrafted staterooms inspired by palaces such as Versailles and Laeken, alongside cool, high-tech spaces that bring to mind London’s Tate Modern. For director Klaus Albrecht Schröder, this juxtaposition of old and new is the Albertina’s unique selling point. “You move from one world to another. From a beautiful late-18th century palace to a thoroughly modern 21st century museum,” he says. 

After a 1992 fire destroyed the Redoutensaal in the nearby Hofburg Palace, the Albertina’s management realized they needed a safe place to store the museum’s irreplaceable collection. As a result, a 3,000-sq-m state-of-the-art storage area reclaimed from underneath the bastion — a part of the old city fortifications on which the palace stands — will house the artworks under carefully controlled environmental conditions. When completed, a computerized system will be able to locate and retrieve any of the more than 1.5 million items within 60 seconds. Another impressive feature is a four-story study wing housing restoration workshops and a library. Designed by the Austrian architects Erich Steinmayr and Friedrich Mascher so that it is concealed within the expanse of palace buildings, it leaves Vienna’s skyline unchanged. 

The art collection of the palace’s second owner, Duke Albert of Saxony-Teschen, was already famous in his own lifetime, 1738-1822\. Albert’s grandson, Archduke Albrecht, allowed the public to view the collection in the family residence as early as 1873, but exhibition space was always limited. Now some 1,000 sq m of gallery space has been created underground, within the bastion. A second 1,000-sq-m exhibition area was created out of former storage rooms and a section of the adjacent Augustinian monastery. The most lasting impression is made by the newly renovated imperial rooms of the Albertina Palace. It cost j5 million and took an army of 60 experts to clean and restore the 14 staterooms now on view to the public. Says Christian Benedik, the art historian responsible for the renovations: “We wanted the rooms to look just as they did in 1822, and that was expensive, and difficult, because there are only a few craftsmen and -women who are familiar with the different techniques. But it was marvelous to see them come to life.” 

Designed by Josef Kornhusel in the 1820s according to an elaborate French classicist style unique to Central Europe, the rooms feature jewel-colored silk wall coverings specially made by the prestigious Venetian textile manufacturer Lorenzo Rubelli from original patterns found in the state archives in Budapest; intarsia floors by Joseph Danhauser incorporating eight different kinds of wood; charming Angelika Kaufmann medallions released from decades of dust and grime; and, everywhere, sparkling chandeliers copied from the originals where necessary by the Austrian crystal specialist Swarovski. In the Gold Cabinet, the smallest of the staterooms, gilders used a special “Albertina” mix of 23-carat gold plus one-carat silver and copper to renew the extravagant wall paneling to its original sheen, while the Hall of the Muses, a former Habsburg ballroom, has breathtaking newly restored sculptures of _Apollo and the Nine Muses_.

Some of Europe’s most acclaimed architects and designers took part in the Albertina reconstruction. To use the palace’s original main entrance atop the bastion, 11 m above street level, Austrian Hans Hollein’s design incorporated an elevator and escalator to carry an expected 500,000 visitors annually to the top, and a huge titanium wing-shaped roof projecting from behind the famous equestrian statue of Archduke Albrecht out over the street below. Although not yet in place, the wing will provide a visual link between the two levels as well as a bold, easily identifiable symbol of the union of old and new that defines the museum. The museum’s shop, a chic, spacious room with black stained cherrywood furniture, gray leather seating and a two-color marble (travertine and rosso levanto) floor, was designed by Briton Callum Lumsden, while its elegant café-restaurant — with a terrace overlooking the leafy Burggarten — was the work of Austrian Arkan Zeytinoglu.

Although Schröder says he is most moved by the combination of richness and simplicity of the staterooms, he adds that Duke Albert was above all a great collector of contemporary artists — a tradition followed by subsequent heads of the Albertina. “We are a living museum, which is why we are staging very modern exhibitions of contemporary art,” he says. Appropriately, the opening of the new Albertina is marked by a major retrospective of the Norwegian expressionist Edvard Munch. Entitled “Theme and Variation,” it features such masterpieces as _The Scream_ and _Madonna_. Simultaneously, works from the museum’s newly created photographic collection are also on display, plus an exhibition of the work of American artist Robert Longo, whose very Viennese subject is the apartment of Sigmund Freud. Due to the extreme light sensitivity of the artworks, there will be no permanent exhibition of the museum’s treasures. However, one of its most famous pieces, Dürer’s 1502 watercolor _Hare_, will be shown for the first time in decades in a fall exhibition of that artist’s work. Visitors should grab the chance to see the original: in future the only facsimiles to be found will be in the museum shop.
