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=b1b6b673-f2fa-4383-9f39-27a7680507b7&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=b1b6b673-f2fa-4383-9f39-27a7680507b7&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=b1b6b673-f2fa-4383-9f39-27a7680507b7&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=b1b6b673-f2fa-4383-9f39-27a7680507b7&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=b1b6b673-f2fa-4383-9f39-27a7680507b7&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=b1b6b673-f2fa-4383-9f39-27a7680507b7&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=b1b6b673-f2fa-4383-9f39-27a7680507b7&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=b1b6b673-f2fa-4383-9f39-27a7680507b7&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: Trump Says U.S. Negotiators Will Meet for Talks with Iran in Qatar [Watch (HLS stream): Trump Says U.S. Negotiators Will Meet for Talks with Iran in Qatar](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/9V6s1O9e.m3u8) (0:37)  _Published 2026-06-29. The two countries are sending delegations to Doha, Qatar, after days of tit-for-tat hostilities._ by [Miranda Jeyaretnam](https://time.com/author/miranda-jeyaretnam/) and [Connor Greene](https://time.com/author/connor-greene/) Updated: Jun 29, 2026 9:43 PM UTCPublished: Jun 29, 2026 9:45 AM UTC by [Miranda Jeyaretnam](https://time.com/author/miranda-jeyaretnam/) and [Connor Greene](https://time.com/author/connor-greene/) Updated: Jun 29, 2026 9:43 PM UTCPublished: Jun 29, 2026 9:45 AM UTC The U.S. and Iran are both sending delegations to Doha, Qatar, following [days of tit-for-tat hostilities](https://time.com/article/2026/06/26/strait-hormuz-iran-strike-vessel-un-escort-shipping-oil-trump/) that [threatened to unravel](https://time.com/article/2026/06/27/Iran-Bahrain-attack-Strait-of-Hormuz-drone-strikes/) a [recently struck preliminary agreement](https://time.com/article/2026/06/14/iran-peace-talks-israeli-strikes-beirut-trump/) to end the war. But officials have made conflicting remarks about what the next steps in negotiations look like. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the U.S. and Iran will meet in Doha on Tuesday. “IRAN HAS REQUESTED A MEETING,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social [post](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116833168246538290). “IT WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW IN DOHA!” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends” that special envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff would travel to Qatar to participate in the “high-level meetings” this week. A White House official told TIME that when in Qatar, Kushner and Witkoff “will continue regional dialogue on various aspects” of the [memorandum of understanding](https://time.com/article/2026/06/17/us-iran-peace-deal-agreement-leaked-draft-text/) signed by Trump and Iranian leaders earlier this month. The official also said that “technical talks are slated to continue this week.” Leavitt said those discussions would take place on the sidelines of the high-level talks Kushner and Witkoff will be participating in. Esmaeil Baghaei, a spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, however, said later on Monday, that no meetings were scheduled with the U.S. in the coming days, according to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB). Baghaei did confirm that Iranian officials would travel to Doha, but said that it was for the purpose of ensuring the memorandum of understanding between the countries is carried out before any final negotiations with the U.S. commence. Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister, also denied earlier in the day that technical talks between Iran and the U.S. had been scheduled this week. A week after the U.S. and Iran agreed to the memorandum of understanding, the two sides [traded strikes](https://time.com/article/2026/06/26/iran-war-us-strikes-strait-of-hormuz-attack-ceasefire/) around the [Strait of Hormuz](https://time.com/article/2026/03/17/what-is-the-strait-of-hormuz-global-trade-oil-flow-iran-war/), the narrow waterway that Iran militarized at the start of the war. The MOU, which the U.S. and Iran signed on June 17, began a [60-day negotiation period](https://time.com/article/2026/06/15/america-iran-peace-agreement-prevent-next-war/) towards a final deal to reopen the Strait and permanently end the war that the U.S. and Israel launched on Feb. 28\. “As far as we’re concerned, we’re holding up our end of the ceasefire,” Leavitt said. “Violence will be met with violence. There were attacks on commercial vessels that the United States of America, directed by the President, responded to and that will continue to happen. But we hope we don’t see that.” The U.S. and Iran were in the midst of negotiations in Switzerland before the attacks late last week. Vice President J.D. Vance [said](https://unherd.com/2026/06/jd-vance-our-new-relationship-with-iran/) the two parties agreed to establish a direct military-to-military communication channel to coordinate traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, which [surged following the MOU](https://time.com/article/2026/06/19/us-iran-deal-strait-hormuz-shipping-oil-gas-prices/). Iran [rejected claims](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/27/pick-up-the-phone-irgc-appears-to-rebuff-us-strait-of-hormuz-hotline) of a channel, and [Axios](https://www.axios.com/2026/06/28/us-and-iran-agree-to-halt-strikes-and-meet-this-week-us-official-says) reported that as of Saturday, any such hotline was not yet operational. Iran [canceled technical talks](https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-canceled-participation-technical-talks-over-recent-attacks-official-tells-2026-06-28/) with the U.S. that were scheduled for Sunday, Iranian state-linked media reported. Iranian authorities pointed to the attacks over the weekend and said it had to check if certain conditions of the MOU, like the release of frozen Iranian assets, had been fulfilled before talks could continue. Iranian and U.S. officials aren’t the only ones navigating the tense situation in the strait. French President Emmanuel Macron met with Omani leader Haitham bin Tarik on Monday and [said](https://x.com/EmmanuelMacron/status/2071599075594469562?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2071599075594469562%7Ctwgr%5E50713894e7191749181f37b137275708f7edc88e%7Ctwcon%5Es1%5F&ref%5Furl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2Flive%2F2026%2F06%2F29%2Fworld%2Fhormuz-us-iran-strikes) that the two were “working together for de-escalation in the Middle East” and to “ensure free and unconditional passage through the Strait of Hormuz.” Macron also said that France was working, “in coordination with our partners, on demining the strait.” Gharibabadi however, [rebuked](https://x.com/Gharibabadi/status/2071636704746750375) Macron’s comments later on Monday, writing on X that Iran would “solely” demine the strait, while calling the situation “sensitive and complex.” “We strongly advise France not to complicate it further with its provocations,” Gharibabadi wrote. The Strait of Hormuz has been a key point of contention between the U.S. and Iran and important leverage for Iran in negotiations. Iran has repeatedly said it wants to control the Strait even after the war, potentially charging service fees for transit, which the U.S. has said it will not allow. Analysts [previously told TIME](https://time.com/article/2026/06/19/us-iran-deal-strait-hormuz-shipping-oil-gas-prices/), however, that the MOU left the issue unresolved. Iran agreed to allow shipping through the Strait, but also maintained that it would discuss the future administration of the Strait with Oman. Traffic through the Strait fell sharply after the flare-up. Analysts warned that any disruptions to shipping could extend the timeline for [gas prices to return to pre-war levels](https://time.com/article/2026/06/19/us-iran-deal-strait-hormuz-shipping-oil-gas-prices/). **Read More:** [_What Americans Think of the U.S.-Iran Deal, According to Polls_](https://time.com/article/2026/06/25/us-iran-deal-mou-trump-approval-war-polls/) “Both sides will stand down for now and vessels can move freely,” a U.S. official told [Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/us-carries-out-fresh-strikes-against-iran-after-tanker-struck-hormuz-escalating-2026-06-27/). ## Tit-for-tat hostilities The exchange of attacks last week arose over what appear to be conflicting interpretations of the MOU, specifically its terms on the Strait of Hormuz. Last Thursday, an Iranian projectile [hit a Singapore-flagged cargo vessel](https://time.com/article/2026/06/26/strait-hormuz-iran-strike-vessel-un-escort-shipping-oil-trump/) sailing through the Strait. Following the attack, Tehran’s recently-created Persian Gulf Seaways Management Organization said that vessels not traveling on designated routes would not be guaranteed safe passage. The Iranian navy said the route, which skirts Iranian waters and hugs the Omani coast, had not been approved. While the vessel had not been part of the United Nations’ evacuation mission, the U.N. had been using the same route to escort ships stranded in the Persian Gulf. Iran [rejected](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/25/un-backed-plan-ships-trapped-strait-of-hormuz-rejected-iran) the coordinates of two new temporary shipping lanes as part of the U.N.-sponsored and Oman-coordinated evacuation plan on Thursday. Coordination with the IRGC navy was “mandatory” for any transit through the Strait, Iranian authorities said. On Friday, the U.S. [carried out fresh strikes](https://time.com/article/2026/06/26/iran-war-us-strikes-strait-of-hormuz-attack-ceasefire/) against Iran “as a powerful response to yesterday’s attack on a commercial ship,” U.S. Central Command said. The strikes hit drone storage sites, coastal radar installations and missile infrastructure in southern Iran, including along the Strait of Hormuz and on Qeshm Island. On Saturday, a Panama-flagged tanker came under fire from an Iranian drone in the waterway. The U.S. military said it retaliated later that day by striking Iranian military facilities in southern Iran, including surveillance, drone, and mine-laying capabilities. And President Donald Trump issued a grave warning to Iran: “There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started,” he [posted](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116824603632739697) on social media on Saturday night. “If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!” Shortly after, Iran [launched missiles and drones at U.S. military bases](https://time.com/article/2026/06/27/Iran-Bahrain-attack-Strait-of-Hormuz-drone-strikes/) in Kuwait and Bahrain. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said as a result of the U.S. strikes, which it called a cease-fire violation, “all diplomatic processes” would be halted, state-linked Press TV reported. The IRGC navy warned that U.S. bases “will experience hell in the coming days.” Later on Sunday, Bahraini authorities said Iran had launched more projectiles, damaging a residential building in Muharraq province. Kuwait’s army also said it intercepted two ballistic missiles. No casualties were reported in either attack. Meanwhile, Israel [continued to mount attacks](https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-destroys-hezbollah-underground-infrastructure-southern-lebanon-2026-06-28/) on Lebanon over the weekend, despite signing the latest cease-fire agreement on June 26\. Analysts previously told TIME that Israel’s aggression in the region could jeopardize U.S.-Iran negotiations, as Iran has made it clear that any cease-fire deal must include Lebanon. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/06/29/us-iran-ceasefire-attacks-strikes-peace-talks-mou/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/06/29/us-iran-ceasefire-attacks-strikes-peace-talks-mou/"},"headline":"Trump and Iranian Officials Make Conflicting Remarks About Next Steps in Talks After Days of Hostilities","datePublished":"2026-06-29T09:45:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-29T21:43:15.000Z","description":"The two countries are sending delegations to Doha, Qatar, after days of tit-for-tat hostilities.","url":"https://time.com/article/2026/06/29/us-iran-ceasefire-attacks-strikes-peace-talks-mou/","keywords":["Iran","diplomacy","News Desk","overnight"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt31c6aaee2860e1ae/6a423b8b0d35558ebcee609b/us_iran.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Miranda Jeyaretnam","jobTitle":"Reporter","url":"https://time.com/author/miranda-jeyaretnam/"},{"@type":"Person","name":"Connor Greene","jobTitle":"Editorial Fellow","url":"https://time.com/author/connor-greene/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt31c6aaee2860e1ae/6a423b8b0d35558ebcee609b/us_iran.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"us iran.jpg","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/iran/","name":"Iran"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/06/29/us-iran-ceasefire-attacks-strikes-peace-talks-mou/","name":"Trump and Iranian Officials Make Conflicting Remarks About Next Steps in Talks After Days of Hostilities"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Trump Says U.S. Negotiators Will Meet for Talks with Iran in Qatar","description":"The two countries are sending delegations to Doha, Qatar, after days of tit-for-tat hostilities.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/9V6s1O9e/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-29T22:27:23.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/9V6s1O9e.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/article/2026/06/29/us-iran-ceasefire-attacks-strikes-peace-talks-mou/","duration":"PT37S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/article/2026/06/29/us-iran-ceasefire-attacks-strikes-peace-talks-mou/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
