### 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.

 He was one of the country’s richest men and its most popular — and powerful — politician, but ever since Thaksin Shinawatra was ousted in a bloodless coup in 2006, he’s found life difficult. Exiled from Thailand, he’s had much of his fortune frozen and has faced allegations that his family unethically profited from the tax-free sale of its stake in the nation’s largest telecommunications group, as well as other accusations of corruption and abuses of power. On Oct. 21, Thailand’s Supreme Court found the former Prime Minister guilty of corruption, sentencing him to two years in prison on charges that he violated a conflict of interest law by allowing his wife to buy land from a government agency for a fraction of its estimated market value. 

 Thaksin, who was elected in 2001 and was reelected in 2005, lived outside the country from his ouster until February of this year; despite a triumphant return, he fled corruption charges in August and is currently residing in the UK. Prosecutors are now pushing for his extradition back to Thailand. For his part, Thaksin dismissed the verdict of the trial as politically motivated and appeared hopeful that he would be able to remain in the UK. “I want to be a prominent businessman in the UK if the British people will welcome me,” he said. 

 Quick Facts:

 • Born July 26th, 1949 in Thailand’s Chiang Mai province. His father was involved in national politics until the late 1970’s. 

 • Remains the only person who has ever completed a full term as Prime Minster in Thailand. 

 • Began his career in the police force and briefly dabbled in the arts, marketing a popular romantic drama “Baan Sai Thong.” 

 • Married to Pojaman Damapong. The couple has three children: a son, Parthongtae, and two daughters, Praethongtarn and Pintongta. 

 • Amassed his multi-billion dollar fortune through telecommunications ventures and through his holdings in Internet, television and mobile phone networks. 

 • Founded the Thai Rak Thai (“Thais love Thais”) party in 1998, with a populist platform that appealed to rural villagers and farmers with a platform of job creation and universal health care. 

 • Elected Prime Minister in 2001 and reelected by a landslide in 2005\. 

 • Joined President George W. Bush’s coalition during the invasion of Iraq. 

 • Came under fire over accusations that he gave preference to family members and friends for government jobs. 

 • While Thaksin was in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly meeting on September 19th, 2006, the army entered Bangkok, took control of the government buildings and state radio and television stations. Thaksin was forced to declare a state of emergency by phone from New York while the army declared martial law. 

 • Despite having his party dissolved and being barred from Thai politics for five years following the coup, Thaksin remains a powerful force in his home country. Recently deposed Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej was elected on a platform that explicitly endorsed Thaksin’s policies; after he stepped down amid tumultuous antigovernment protests in Bangkok, Somchai Wongsawat, Thaksin’s brother-in-law, was appointed instead. Somchai has been forced to conduct business without access to the Prime Minister’s office, occupied by protesters who argue the current administration is merely a proxy for Thaksin himself. 

 • A longtime soccer fan, he bought the Manchester City Football club for $130 million in 2007; he sold it earlier this year to an Abu-Dhabi based company for over twice that amount. 

 Quotes about Thaksin:

 “The defendant was a leader of government and should have acted with a good example to others, so the court decided not to suspend the sentence and decided to jail him for two years.” — _Statement by Tonglor Chomngarm, head of the panel of judges, to the court during Thaksin’s trial_ 

 “Yes, I like him. Why wouldn’t I? I don’t know why others don’t.” — _A 67 year old villager in At Samat, Thailand, on rural support for Thaksin_ 

 Quotes by Thaksin:

_On his wife’s acquittal of corruption charges:_ “I’m very happy for her, but my wife has done nothing wrong and is not a politician.” 

_On the Second anniversary of the coup that removed him from power:_ “I will return to Thailand only when the time is right.” 

_On the verdict of the trial:_ “I’m a politician and after I was toppled by the coup it’s normal that they will try every means to justify it.”
