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=145712d6-90e6-4e31-98b6-91642ee85452&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=145712d6-90e6-4e31-98b6-91642ee85452&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=145712d6-90e6-4e31-98b6-91642ee85452&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=145712d6-90e6-4e31-98b6-91642ee85452&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=145712d6-90e6-4e31-98b6-91642ee85452&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=145712d6-90e6-4e31-98b6-91642ee85452&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=145712d6-90e6-4e31-98b6-91642ee85452&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=145712d6-90e6-4e31-98b6-91642ee85452&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announces resignation [Watch (HLS stream): U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announces resignation](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ILJKHjMB.m3u8) (0:53)  _Published 2026-06-22. Keir Starmer announced his resignation as British Prime Minister and the leader of the Labour Party on Monday morning. Championing the “change” delivered by the Labour government since his party won the general election in July 2024, Starmer declared his successor will "inherit a Britain that is far stronger and fairer" than the one he did. He promised to stay in his post until an orderly transfer of power has taken place._  by [Tiago Ventura](https://time.com/author/tiago-ventura/)  ## Tiago Ventura Jun 24, 2026 1:33 PM UTC  Andy Burnham after being sworn in as a Member of Parliament in Westminster, London, on June 22, 2026. Andy Burnham after being sworn in as a Member of Parliament in Westminster, London, on June 22, 2026.Dan Kitwood––Getty Images  by [Tiago Ventura](https://time.com/author/tiago-ventura/)  ## Tiago Ventura Jun 24, 2026 1:33 PM UTC If [Andy Burnham](https://time.com/article/2026/05/15/andy-burnham-new-british-prime-minister-contender-starmer-labour-contest/)’s planned leadership bid remains unchallenged, the newly sworn-in Member of Parliament for Makerfield could be the U.K.’s new Prime Minister in a matter of weeks. In the event Burnham does [replace Keir Starmer,](https://time.com/article/2026/06/22/uk-prime-minister-keir-starmer-resignation-reports-burnham-leadership-potential/) it would likely fall to him to help mend the splintered relationship between Washington and Westminster. In recent months, [Starmer’s alliance with U.S. President Donald Trump](https://time.com/7382464/trump-starmer-conflict-uk-us-relationship-iran-war/) has become increasingly strained amid the fallout of the Iran war. Trump’s remarks in the Oval Office after Starmer resigned Monday underscored how far relations have deteriorated. Although he described Starmer as a “lovely man” and “sort of a friend of mine,” Trump strongly critiqued his premiership. “I wish him well, but he's got two problems: energy and immigration, and crime, but energy and immigration, you know, he's really hurt himself very, very badly,” [said](https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1360&v=HNipoXNANAs&feature=youtu.be) Trump, who has repeatedly urged the U.K. to expand its drilling in the North Sea. The U.S. President also repeated his “Winston Churchill” jibe against Starmer, lambasting the British Prime Minister for refusing to be actively involved in the Iran war. “This was not Winston Churchill we’re dealing with,” he said. But the discord between the two leaders stretches far beyond disagreements over the conflict in the Middle East. Trump threatened to impose a [“big tariff”](https://time.com/article/2026/04/24/trump-threatens-uk-with-big-tariff-iran-war-relationship-fractured/) on Britain if it refused to scrap its digital services tax on U.S. tech companies in April. The U.S. President’s verbal attacks on the NATO alliance have also caused friction. At the start of the year, [Starmer condemned Trump's false claims](https://time.com/7357377/starmer-denounces-trump-appalling-nato-afghanistan-remarks/) that non-American NATO troops “stayed a little back” from the front line during the war in Afghanistan. He referred to the remarks as “insulting and, frankly, appalling.” Will Burnham be able to heal the rift in what is often described as the “special relationship” between the U.K. and U.S.? “Whoever occupies No. 10, and whoever is in the White House, need to be able to do business with each other, and they need to be able to get on in order to do that business,” Andrew Roe-Crines, a senior lecturer in political communication at the University of Liverpool, tells TIME. Here's what Burnham has said about Trump and U.S. politics: ### Burnham accused Trump of bringing "instability" to the world In one of his most direct criticisms of the President, Burnham argued last year that Trump’s return to office had shaken global politics. Burnham [said](https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/andy-burnham-slams-donald-trump-for-bringing-instability-to-the-world-and-attacks-farages-nhs-views-390147/) several decisions made by Trump, including his [approach](https://time.com/article/2026/05/23/how-ukraine-found-the-cards-to-win-without-help-from-the-u-s-/) to the [Russia-Ukraine war](https://time.com/article/2026/06/15/ukraine-joining-the-european-union-membership-process-negotiations-status/), were “out of order” and were bringing “instability to the world.” He also criticized the views of Nigel Farage, leader of the right-wing [Reform UK party](https://time.com/article/2026/05/08/trump-ally-nigel-farage-makes-gains-in-u-k-elections-as-starmer-s-future-draws-uncertainty/) and a longtime ally of Trump. Pushing back against Farage’s outlook on the National Health Service (NHS), Burnham insisted “we don't want a U.S.-style health system in this country.” Burnham’s public criticism of Trump dates back to the President's first term in office. In a 2016 [interview](https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/nov/10/andy-burnham-election-trump-cry-for-change) after Trump won his first presidential election, Burnham said he found Trump’s rhetoric troubling, but he suggested politicians should shoulder the blame for Trump’s success rather than the voting public. “We have to look closer to home, and say, well, how about the parties that have represented the areas that are feeling this? Are we doing enough in representing them, and what are we doing to respond to their concerns?” argued Burnham. He specifically called on lawmakers on the left to engage with “working class communities that feel that politics hasn’t worked for them.” In 2017, Burnham [rejected](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/mayor-says-wont-meet-donald-13980368) the idea of potentially meeting Trump during a U.K. visit, describing the decision as “a matter of principle” after the President reposted [videos](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-retweets-anti-muslim-videos-from-british-far-right-leader) shared by far-right figures in Britain. ### Burnham branded U.S. politics “polarized” and “poisonous” During the Makerfield by-election campaign, Burnham frequently presented himself as a candidate capable of pushing back against political division and often drew comparisons between the trajectory of British politics and that of the U.S. "Politics is getting more polarized. And the path we're on, if we are not careful, is a path towards the politics of the United States of America," he [warned](https://youtu.be/GaJwODQAOPE?t=474) on June 13\. "A polarized, poisonous politics where people in communities don't work together anymore." Burnham explicitly contrasted himself with Reform UK and its [anti-immigration](https://time.com/7312356/nigel-farage-britain-deporations-migrant-hotel-protests/) platform. Reform ultimately lost to Burnham in Makerfield, where he secured 55% of the vote. The newly-elected MP returned to the topic in the first rally after his by-election victory. “There was a risk that we would carry on seeing Britain and the politics of our country go down a path towards greater darkness and division and ending up somewhere like the United States of America, where people don't talk to each other in the street if they vote different ways or in their workplace. We will not let that happen here,” he [said](https://youtu.be/E314JpunzQM?t=439). “In the U.K., we have traditionally had a political culture where it is possible for ideological enemies to get on as friends,” Roe-Crines explains. “That's the kind of thing that Burnham says that we need to retain, whereas in the U.S., I would say that ship has arguably sailed.” ### Burnham supported Starmer’s approach to Trump Burnham previously defended the approach Starmer took in dealing with Trump, arguing that it was necessary in order to maintain a strong relationship with Washington. When Trump returned to the White House, Starmer sought to cultivate ties, notably presenting him with a [letter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7le4hf9djWQ) from King Charles III inviting him for a [second state visit](https://time.com/7317411/trump-uk-state-visit-schedule-royals/) to the U.K. In an [interview](https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jun/04/i-wouldnt-flinch-burnham-on-social-care-markets-brexit-and-the-prospect-of-a-general-election), Burnham endorsed that strategy, signaling continuity in Britain’s diplomatic approach while also suggesting there should be limits to accommodating Washington. “Normally you would want a good relationship with the U.S., but if you can’t agree with them, then say that as well. That’s the only way I think to deal with him,” he said. “Obviously, the relationship is important to the U.K., but not to the point where we just go along with anything they say. We’ve got in trouble in the past when that happens, so no, I think the approach that Keir has taken is the right one.” Roe-Crines argues that Burnham may even have a “softening of the language about Trump.” “Burnham will want to mend relations between the Prime Minister’s office and Washington, so in order to do that, he'll probably either say nothing or say nicer things about Trump, commenting on the areas of mutual interest in order to help solidify the relationship,” he predicts. ### Burnham has criticized the U.S. approach to the Iran war While still mayor of Greater Manchester, Burnham was openly critical of the early stages of the joint U.S.-Israeli offensive that killed Iran’s former Supreme Leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei](https://time.com/7381859/ali-khamenei-obituary-supreme-leader-iran-dead-86/). “The idea that you take out a leader and then the whole of the population there just unites behind that change it's simplistic,” he [argued](https://www.instagram.com/reels/DVgIFdBAdac/) in March. Burnham said he had spoken with an Iranian national who told him that “Iranian public opinion is not as straightforward as people think.” He also said the conflict in Iran "parallels" the Iraq war and highlighted the danger of entering a conflict without a plan for what comes next. “If there's no plan for the aftermath, well, where does it then go?” he said, adding that “care is needed to think through and not get swept up into the moment.” The active conflict has since been paused by a cease-fire agreement between the U.S. and Iran under a [14-point memorandum of understanding](https://time.com/article/2026/06/17/us-iran-peace-deal-agreement-leaked-draft-text/) signed by Trump and Iranian officials. The agreement remains fragile, however, with fighting between [Israel and Hezbollah](https://time.com/article/2026/06/19/israel-hezbollah-ceasefire-us-iran-peace-talks-strikes/) threatening to undermine one of its key provisions—a cessation of hostilities in Lebanon.  U.S. President Donald Trump and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer hold a press conference at the conclusion of a state visit in Aylesbury, England, on Sept. 18, 2025. Leon Neal––Getty Images ### Burnham may be open to hearing one of Trump’s key arguments regarding the U.K. and energy In Manchester, [Burnham laid out a target ](https://time.com/article/2026/06/23/top-energy-climate-issues-next-uk-prime-minister/)for the northern city to become carbon neutral by 2038, taking measures such as investing in electric buses to keep the city on track with its goal. But he has yet to fully detail his plans for climate action on the national level. Trump has repeatedly lambasted Labour’s approach to North Sea oil and gas production, arguing that Britain is unnecessarily restricting domestic energy supplies. “The U.K. has a much better portion of the North Sea. They don't want to do it for environmental purposes,” he [said](https://youtu.be/HNipoXNANAs?t=1385). The U.K.’s environmental policies have become a frequent target for Trump, whose Administration has moved to [roll back climate measures](https://time.com/7258269/trump-climate-policies-executive-orders/). Starmer’s Labour government came into power [aiming](https://labour.org.uk/change/make-britain-a-clean-energy-superpower/) to phase out fossil fuels from the U.K.’s electricity generation by 2030. Last year, it announced its intent to [ban](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/north-sea-future-plan-for-fair-managed-and-prosperous-transition?utm%5Fsource=chatgpt.com) new North Sea oil and gas licenses. Burnham has signaled he isn’t against reconsidering British access to North Sea oil and gas. “I’ve got something of an open mind, you know. I don’t have a sort of fixed position,” he [said](https://x.com/PronouncedAlva/status/2062495317258334717) in early June. But the approach is unlikely to change if Ed Miliband is announced as part of Burnham’s cabinet. The current Energy Secretary, who has reportedly been [eyeing a job ](https://www.politico.eu/article/ed-miliband-chancellor-potential-andy-burnham-government/)with Burnham, has staunchly [defended](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPuI9T7-DrA) the decision to stop new drilling in the North Sea. Elsewhere, Burnham has [repeatedly](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYeYxkXCTFJ/) argued for bringing energy and water "back under stronger public control.” TIME has reached out to Andy Burnham’s office for comment.
