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. ### Sources * Project Management Institute | [pmi.org](/c/pmi-2026-q3/home?i=94f543cc-2628-4953-bbd7-a507cf4fefbe&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey—Fourteenth Edition" | [pmi.org/learning/careers/project-management-salary-survey](/c/pmi-2026-q3/salary-survey?i=94f543cc-2628-4953-bbd7-a507cf4fefbe&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Global Project Management Talent Gap" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/global-project-management-talent-gap](/c/pmi-2026-q3/talent-gap?i=94f543cc-2628-4953-bbd7-a507cf4fefbe&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=94f543cc-2628-4953-bbd7-a507cf4fefbe&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Pulse Report 2025: Boosting Business Acumen” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/boosting-business-acumen](/c/pmi-2026-q3/business-acumen?i=94f543cc-2628-4953-bbd7-a507cf4fefbe&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Pulse of the Profession® 2026: Driving Success in Complex Projects” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/driving-success-in-complex-projects](/c/pmi-2026-q3/complex-projects?i=94f543cc-2628-4953-bbd7-a507cf4fefbe&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Step Up: Redefining the Path to Project Success with M.O.R.E.” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/path-to-project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/more-mindset?i=94f543cc-2628-4953-bbd7-a507cf4fefbe&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI Education Foundation, PMIEF 2024 Annual Report, [pmi.org PMIEF 2024 Annual Report (PDF)](/c/pmi-2026-q3/pmief-report?i=94f543cc-2628-4953-bbd7-a507cf4fefbe&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: Here’s What’s in the U.S.-Iran Agreement To End the War [Watch (HLS stream): Here’s What’s in the U.S.-Iran Agreement To End the War](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/nlC4ALGD.m3u8) (1:32)  _Published 2026-06-17. As officials meet in Switzerland to negotiate the terms of a tenuous U.S.-Iran accord, and tensions reignite over the Strait of Hormuz, here's a look at what the conflict has already cost._  by [Rebecca Schneid](https://time.com/author/rebecca-schneid/)  ## Rebecca Schneid Reporter Jun 21, 2026 6:56 PM UTC  by [Rebecca Schneid](https://time.com/author/rebecca-schneid/)  ## Rebecca Schneid Reporter Jun 21, 2026 6:56 PM UTC United States [Vice President JD Vance](https://time.com/article/2026/06/18/JD-Vance-Israel-Iran-Deal-Donald-Trump-Lebanon/) arrived in Switzerland on Sunday to commence peace negotiations with senior Iranian officials, as both sides work to expand a fragile interim agreement aimed at ending the war. Among the most pressing issues is the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran said it re-closed Saturday—potentially jeopardizing a key provision of the [emerging peace framework](https://time.com/article/2026/06/15/america-iran-peace-agreement-prevent-next-war/) and prolonging disruptions to global trade, [food](https://time.com/article/2026/05/19/global-food-crisis-concerns-strait-of-hormuz-iran-trade-choke-hold/) supplies, and [energy markets](https://time.com/article/2026/06/19/trump-iran-deal-energy-market-volatility/). The move came amid renewed tensions in Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed in a post [on X](https://x.com/IsraeliPM/status/2067924606048997776) that four Israeli soldiers were killed by Hezbollah combatants on Thursday. Israeli strikes killed at least 16 people the following day, including two children, according to Lebanon’s [civil defense agency](https://x.com/CivilDefenseLB/status/2068253950810148924), and its health ministry said that the latest action brought the nation’s death toll above [4,000](https://www.moph.gov.lb/ar/Pages/129/85668/). As delegates and mediators convene in Switzerland, the following figures help illustrate some of the most consequential impacts for the countries involved, the region, and the world. **Read more:** [_U.S. and Iran Sign Agreement to Stop Fighting, Reopen Strait_](https://time.com/article/2026/06/14/iran-peace-talks-israeli-strikes-beirut-trump/) ## Over 7,600 lives: The human toll of the war The U.S.-based [Human Rights Activists News Agency](https://www.en-hrana.org/day-39-of-u-s-and-israeli-attacks-on-iran-extensive-damage-to-the-rail-network-and-roads/) reported in April that **3,636 Iranians** had been killed since the war began on Feb. 28\. Figures compiled from government statements, health ministries, and human rights reports indicate that at least 2,100 of those casualties were civilians—the vast majority killed by U.S.-Israeli airstrikes. At least [**4,000 Lebanese people**](https://www.moph.gov.lb/ar/Pages/129/85668/) have also been killed since a conflict between Hezbollah and Israel was sparked on March 2, according to Lebanon's health ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. One of the deadliest days in the conflict was June 18, when the Israeli Air Force struck the outskirts of Nabatieh, Sidon, and Tyre, [killing at least 47 people](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/18/israeli-attacks-on-southern-lebanon-kill-three-despite-us-iran-deal?utm%5Fsource=chatgpt.com) and injuring 97. The war has exacted a smaller but still significant toll on the United States and Israel. Pentagon [statistics](https://dcas.dmdc.osd.mil/dcas/app/conflictCasualties/oefu/wounded?utm%5Fsource=chatgpt.com) as of June 22 show that **13 U.S. service members** have been killed and around 400 have been wounded in Operation Epic Fury. And at least [**39 Israeli people**](https://www.timesofisrael.com/despite-truce-idf-hits-lebanon-after-repeated-hezbollah-attacks-at-least-27-said-killed/)—including a few dozen Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon and at least four civilians struck by Iranian missile attacks—have been killed since the war began, according to figures from the IDF. The human toll extends beyond the war's principal combatants. Iranian drone and missile attacks also caused deaths and injuries in Gulf states including the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman, though no comprehensive regional casualty count has been published. As recently as June 10, [three Indian sailors died](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy73dr081p8o) while crewing oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. ## $2.2 trillion: Global economic impact The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil usually passes, has had worldwide economic consequences. The Institute for Economics and Peace [estimated](https://www.economicsandpeace.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Global-Peace-Index-2026-Report.pdf) in June that the U.S.-Iran War is reducing global GDP by roughly $2.2 trillion annually—a figure that could skyrocket if the peace deal faces obstacles or fighting resumes. Oil prices [surpassed](https://time.com/7383152/iran-israel-us-crude-oil-prices-outlook-markets-trump-hormuz/) $100 per barrel in early 2026\. By contrast, before the onset of the conflict, the prices more consistently hovered around $67 to $71 per barrel. Eight countries—Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman—depend on the Strait of Hormuz for the bulk of their hydrocarbon exports, but the closure has led to [energy](https://time.com/article/2026/04/05/strait-of-hormuz-fuel-rationing-oil/) shortages and conservation efforts in farther removed countries as well, including Australia, Bangladesh, and South Korea. Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, [called the crisis](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/4/13/iran-war-live-us-military-to-block-iranian-port-traffic-in-hormuz-strait) “the greatest energy security challenge in history.” ## 1 million: Lebanese people displaced The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said that over a million Lebanese people have been displaced since the start of the U.S.-Iran War. It also [estimated](https://www.unocha.org/lebanon) that close to 1 in 4 people in Lebanon are set to face “crisis and emergency levels of food insecurity.” Much of that displacement has been driven by Israel's continued military operations in Lebanon—despite several [ceasefire announcements](https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2026/04/ten-day-cessation-of-hostilities-to-enable-peace-negotiations-between-israel-and-lebanon). Netanyahu said the continued strikes aim to establish “security zones” around Israel. “We established deep security zones around the state of Israel. We did this in Gaza, in Lebanon, and in Syria,” he [said](https://x.com/ILTVNews/status/2066606885051285865) in a televised press conference June 15\. “And I want to make it clear: We will remain in these security zones … to protect our country.” **Read more:** [_Israel's War Against Lebanon, Explained_](https://time.com/article/2026/04/10/israels-hezbollah-lebanon-war-explained/) According to the [map](https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/how-israel-has-emptied-southern-lebanon-far-beyond-front-lines-2026-05-28/) published by Israel soon after the ceasefire, the buffer zone marks about 600 square kilometers consisting of 57 towns and villages. Airstrikes also took place outside of that buffer zone [until late May](https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/how-israel-has-emptied-southern-lebanon-far-beyond-front-lines-2026-05-28/), and evacuation orders continue to span about a fifth of the country. Although the [MOU](https://time.com/article/2026/06/17/us-iran-peace-deal-agreement-leaked-draft-text/) requires “the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts” from not only the U.S. and Iran, but also their allies, Israel published an updated version of its security zone map [last Thursday](https://x.com/i24NEWS%5FEN/status/2067552196577648995) showing that forces are still deployed 10 kilometers into Lebanon. Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz reiterated on Sunday that Israel will not withdraw and said the military will have “no restriction.” The ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel "leaves the IDF in all of its positions within the security zone,” he said, adding that their presence intends to protect residents in northern Israel. ## $29 billion: Cost to the U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been relatively tight-lipped about how much funding was being absorbed by the conflict, but Jay Hurst, the Pentagon comptroller, [testified](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NB66MGXl%5FW4) in May that Operation Epic Fury had already cost American taxpayers some $29 billion. [Several](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-war-cost-closer-50-billion-us-officials/)[ outlets](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/29/politics/us-iran-war-25-billion-cost-estimate-low) have reported that the true cost of the war to the U.S. could be closer to $50 billion if it takes into account the bill for repairing extensive damage to military bases and replacing damaged or lost drones and missiles. There will be a lasting impact on economic growth as the country faces a long process resolving outstanding costs, according to analysts. Goldman Sachs said [in March](https://www.goldmansachs.com/pdfs/insights/goldman-sachs-research/iran-conflict-how-long-and-how-bad/report.pdf) that the war had “lowered our 2026 U.S. growth forecast and raised our 2026 U.S. inflation forecast to reflect higher oil prices”—a direct result of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz. The war has also cost the United States heavily in [munitions](https://time.com/article/2026/05/12/US-ammunition-shortage-iran-war/). “To put it in perspective, we fired more Patriot missiles in the first four days of the Iran war than we have given to Ukraine over the past four years,” Linda Bilmes, a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School, [said in April](https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty-research/policy-topics/international-relations-security/why-war-iran-so-expensive). Sen. Mark Kelly told CBS’s _Face the Nation_ last month that it could take the U.S. “[years](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mark-kelly-arizona-democrat-face-the-nation-transcript-06-14-2026/)” to replenish stockpiles—a timeframe corroborated by defense experts. For example, restocking Tomahawk missiles will cost $3 to $3.5 million each, and Patriot missiles will cost $4 to $5 million each, according to Bilmes. **Read more:** [_These Are the Civilians Who Have Been Killed in the Iran War_](https://time.com/article/2026/04/21/iran-war-civilians-killed/) ## $270 billion: Damage to Iran’s economy Iran’s economy has long struggled, and its dollar currently ranks as the least valuable currency in the world, according to [_Forbes_](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/uk/investing/currencies/top-10-weakest-currencies-in-the-world/). In April, its government [told a Russian news agency](https://en.irna.ir/news/86127598/War-reparations-among-key-issues-in-Iran-US-talks-govt-spokesperson) that the conflict has cost Iran $270 billion in direct and indirect damages.
