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=17c89071-aefa-4185-8262-5f5193d2d659&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=17c89071-aefa-4185-8262-5f5193d2d659&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=17c89071-aefa-4185-8262-5f5193d2d659&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=17c89071-aefa-4185-8262-5f5193d2d659&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=17c89071-aefa-4185-8262-5f5193d2d659&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=17c89071-aefa-4185-8262-5f5193d2d659&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=17c89071-aefa-4185-8262-5f5193d2d659&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=17c89071-aefa-4185-8262-5f5193d2d659&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: Trump Says U.S Cease-Fire With Iran Is 'Over,' Calling Its Leaders 'Scum,' After Traded Strikes [Watch (HLS stream): Trump Says U.S Cease-Fire With Iran Is 'Over,' Calling Its Leaders 'Scum,' After Traded Strikes](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/5BwInqKM.m3u8) (0:50)  _Published 2026-07-08. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the interim agreement to end the Iran war is “over” and threatened new U.S. strikes amid a flare-up of hostilities. When asked about the status of the Memorandum of Understanding, signed on June 17, Trump declared: “I think it’s over. I don’t want to deal with them anymore." “They’re scum. They’re sick people. They’re led by sick people,” he continued. “If they had a nuclear weapon, they’d use it. As far as I’m concerned, it’s over.”_ by [Olivia-Anne Cleary](https://time.com/author/olivia-anne-cleary/), [Callum Sutherland](https://time.com/author/callum-sutherland/) and [Annika Neklason](https://time.com/author/annika-neklason/) Updated: Jul 8, 2026 9:55 PM UTCPublished: Jul 8, 2026 12:12 PM UTC by [Olivia-Anne Cleary](https://time.com/author/olivia-anne-cleary/), [Callum Sutherland](https://time.com/author/callum-sutherland/) and [Annika Neklason](https://time.com/author/annika-neklason/) Updated: Jul 8, 2026 9:55 PM UTCPublished: Jul 8, 2026 12:12 PM UTC The American military launched new strikes against Iran on Wednesday in order “to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz,” U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced. “The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway,” CENTCOM [wrote](https://x.com/CENTCOM/status/2074950507186032971) on X Wednesday afternoon. President [Donald Trump](https://time.com/7382697/trump-iran-war/) described the fresh attacks as "retribution for yesterday’s bombing of ships by Iran." "If it happens again, it will get much worse!" the President added in a [post](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116886505160658220) on Truth Social. The strikes come as[ Trump](https://time.com/7382697/trump-iran-war/) earlier on Wednesday said the interim agreement to end the Iran war is “over” and threatened further U.S. strikes amid a flare-up of hostilities. "We hit them very hard last night, and we'll probably hit them hard again tonight," he told reporters on the second day of the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. Renewing previous threats to strike Iran’s infrastructure, including desalinization plants and electric plants, Trump [said](https://youtu.be/TICxOIPDMOM?t=61) the U.S. "may take over [Kharg Island,](https://time.com/article/2026/03/30/trump-comments-about-seizing-iran-kharg-island-oil-hub/)" Iran's main oil terminal. He noted that the U.S. had struck the land on Tuesday, but avoided its oil facilities. When asked about the status of the [Memorandum of Understanding,](https://time.com/article/2026/06/17/us-iran-peace-deal-agreement-leaked-draft-text/) signed on June 17, Trump declared: “I think it’s over. I don’t want to deal with them anymore." “They’re scum. They’re sick people. They’re led by sick people,” he continued. “If they had a nuclear weapon, they’d use it. As far as I’m concerned, it’s over.” A flare-up of hostilities saw Iran target U.S. military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain overnight after the U.S. struck Iranian targets following attacks on vessels in the [Strait of Hormuz](https://time.com/article/2026/03/17/what-is-the-strait-of-hormuz-global-trade-oil-flow-iran-war/). NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte [called](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EnGIxUp8OEc) the U.S. strikes “absolutely necessary,” on account of Iran “violating” the cease-fire. “I think it is totally crucial that \[the\] U.S. forcefully reacts,” he [told](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EnGIxUp8OEc) reporters. “I expect allies today to reconfirm that Iran should never, ever get its hands on a nuclear capability.” Rutte also urged for “freedom of navigation” in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passage through which around a fifth of global oil production traditionally flows. A full reopening of the waterway is “crucial for all 32 allies,” he said. Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, a top negotiator for Iran, insisted it was the U.S. that had violated the interim peace agreement. He cited the U.S. reinstating [sanctions](https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/07/trump-reimposes-sanctions-iran-oil-sanctions-00989081) on Iranian oil sales—a move made Tuesday after oil tanker attacks—as an example, as well as the “persistent threats of further strikes.” “The era of bullying and extortion is over. It leads nowhere. We don’t fold,” he vowed. ### U.S. and Iran trade strikes and accusations CENTCOM [announced](https://x.com/CENTCOM/status/2074603238175998290) late afternoon Tuesday that it had begun launching “a series of powerful strikes against Iran" after noting that three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz had been “recently attacked” by Iranian forces. Hours later, CENTCOM [confirmed](https://x.com/CENTCOM/status/2074670840893870433) it had struck over 80 targets across Iran, including air defense systems, command and control networks, coastal radar sites, and anti-ship missile capabilities. It also struck “more than 60 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps small boats in and near the Strait to degrade Iran’s ability to continue attacking international commerce flowing through the international trade corridor.” The IRGC, in a [statement](https://t.me/Tasnimnews/430250) carried by semi-official state media, said that it had retaliated to the U.S. by launching a salvo of drone and missile strikes at “key U.S. military facilities” across Bahrain and Kuwait. Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior [issued](https://x.com/moi%5Fbahrain/status/2074739609804722551) several warnings for civilians to seek shelter and Kuwait’s armed forces [said](https://x.com/KuwaitArmyGHQ/status/2074779741026976110) it had detected and successfully intercepted ballistic missiles and drones breaching its airspace. No material damage was reported as a result of the attacks. The strikes brought renewed instability to the Gulf region, prompting international leaders to urge for restraint. Kaja Kallas, the European Union's foreign affairs chief, [said](https://x.com/kajakallas/status/2074765944950333810): “The exchanges of fire between the U.S. and Iran further complicate already fraught talks to end the war. Iran’s attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait are unacceptable.” “Under the memorandum, Tehran committed to reopening the Strait of Hormuz,” she continued. “Its recent attacks on ships near the Strait violate that commitment and threaten to disrupt the resumption of energy supplies. Freedom of navigation must be unimpeded.” The Memorandum of Understanding laid out the terms for an extended 60-day cease-fire, allowing time for further technical talks to take place. That deadline is set to expire in mid-August, but amid flare-ups of violence and accusations of violations from both sides, it seems little progress has been made in negotiations. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner discussed the Iran deal [with mediators in Doha](https://time.com/article/2026/06/30/us-iran-peace-deal-talks-technical-doha-mediators-strait-of-hormuz/) at the end of June, but there were no high-level talks confirmed with Iranian officials. After declaring the cease-fire “over” on Wednesday, Trump [said](https://youtu.be/Ld9NRVZ6x2A?t=18) he would speak to his negotiators, but argued it was a “waste of time” dealing with Iran. ### Oil jumps amid fresh strikes and renewed uncertainty After Trump’s latest comments, and following the overnight hostilities, the [price](https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/brent-crude-oil) of Brent crude oil spiked once again, jumping to almost $79 per barrel Wednesday morning—an increase of over 5% from the day before. Maritime authorities raised the threat risk for vessels transiting the Strait to "[severe,](https://www.ukmto.org/-/media/ukmto/products/update-068-jmic-advisory-note-07-july.pdf?rev=274817fc31674a1296b6ea6b3dd6ac7d)" warning that "deliberate hostile action" is likely under current conditions. Arsenio Dominguez, secretary general of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), [called](https://www.imo.org/en/mediacentre/pressbriefings/pages/imo-secretary-general-condemns-new-attacks-on-ships-in-strait-of-hormuz.aspx) for “maximum restraint and de-escalation.” He said nearly 6,000 seafarers are stranded in the Strait, “unable to depart the Persian Gulf safely,” amid the renewed volatility. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/07/08/us-iran-ceasefire-over-trump-strikes-strait-of-hormuz/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/07/08/us-iran-ceasefire-over-trump-strikes-strait-of-hormuz/"},"headline":"U.S. Carries Out New Strikes Against Iran as Trump Says Cease-Fire Is 'Over'","datePublished":"2026-07-08T12:12:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-07-08T21:55:40.000Z","description":"Additional strikes have been launched \"to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz,\" CENTCOM announced Wednesday.","url":"https://time.com/article/2026/07/08/us-iran-ceasefire-over-trump-strikes-strait-of-hormuz/","keywords":["Iran","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd844f2f6d124fff9/6a4e25ac44440d542511b0cd/trump-cease-fire-over-july8.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia-Anne Cleary","jobTitle":"Cleary is an editor at TIME, based in the London bureau.","url":"https://time.com/author/olivia-anne-cleary/"},{"@type":"Person","name":"Callum Sutherland","jobTitle":"Reporter","url":"https://time.com/author/callum-sutherland/"},{"@type":"Person","name":"Annika Neklason","jobTitle":"Editor","url":"https://time.com/author/annika-neklason/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd844f2f6d124fff9/6a4e25ac44440d542511b0cd/trump-cease-fire-over-july8.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"trump-cease-fire-over-july8.jpg","caption":"","creditText":"Win McNamee—Getty Images","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/2026/07/08/us-iran-ceasefire-over-trump-strikes-strait-of-hormuz/","name":"U.S. Carries Out New Strikes Against Iran as Trump Says Cease-Fire Is 'Over'"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Trump Says U.S Cease-Fire With Iran Is 'Over,' Calling Its Leaders 'Scum,' After Traded Strikes","description":"President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the interim agreement to end the Iran war is “over” and threatened new U.S. strikes amid a flare-up of hostilities.
