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=a60c6995-ae50-44f2-9fd0-121adaa1c450&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=a60c6995-ae50-44f2-9fd0-121adaa1c450&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=a60c6995-ae50-44f2-9fd0-121adaa1c450&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=a60c6995-ae50-44f2-9fd0-121adaa1c450&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=a60c6995-ae50-44f2-9fd0-121adaa1c450&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=a60c6995-ae50-44f2-9fd0-121adaa1c450&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=a60c6995-ae50-44f2-9fd0-121adaa1c450&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=a60c6995-ae50-44f2-9fd0-121adaa1c450&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional)  by [Rebecca Schneid](https://time.com/author/rebecca-schneid/)  ## Rebecca Schneid Reporter Oct 11, 2026 7:45 PM UTC  President Donald Trump walks to board Air Force One on Oct. 10, 2026, in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. President Donald Trump walks to board Air Force One on Oct. 10, 2026, in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Alex Brandon—AP  by [Rebecca Schneid](https://time.com/author/rebecca-schneid/)  ## Rebecca Schneid Reporter Oct 11, 2026 7:45 PM UTC [President Donald Trump](https://time.com/tag/donald-trump/) claimed Sunday that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to an “energy ceasefire.” The announcement followed a deal he unveiled Oct. 9 to bring Russian diesel to U.S. and global markets—and Oct. 10 remarks blaming [President Volodymyr Zelensky](https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2022/6177690/volodymyr-zelensky/) specifically for the diesel shortage driving up prices in the U.S. “Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine,” Trump posted on Truth Social on [Sunday](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/117422699218841250), without providing additional details about the deal. “Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!” Zelensky told [Axios](https://www.axios.com/2026/10/11/trump-russia-ukraine-energy-ceasefire-zelensky) the same day that the ceasefire “was news for me.” He also [confirmed ](https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-yandex-trump-zelenskyy-f621fa788196f204448e7f75fcc78c68)that Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure continued Sunday. He wrote [on X](https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/2109307647639826660) that Ukraine “supports the ceasefire, and it’s important for Russia to support it as well.” TIME reached out to the White House and the Ukrainian President’s Office for additional comment. Zelensky offered the same response when Trump made a similar,[ unsubstantiated claim](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/117270009579288120]) Sept. 14\. In the days that followed, both countries continued to strike one another’s energy facilities. **Read More:** [_The G7 Is Releasing Emergency Fuel Reserves. How Much Will It Help Americans?_](https://time.com/article/2026/10/03/the-g7-is-releasing-emergency-fuel-reserves-how-much-will-it-help-americans-/) Trump has repeatedly [asked](https://time.com/article/2026/09/13/trump-wants-ukraine-to-stop-striking-russian-refineries-what-would-that-mean-for-the-war-/) Zelensky to stop targeting Russian oil refineries and blamed Ukraine for contributing to global diesel shortages. In doing so, he has falsely implied that this is a primary factor in the ongoing global shortage. The main contributor to the current crisis is the U.S. war with Iran, which has resulted in blockades on the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world’s oil passed prior to the start of the war in February. On Oct. 10, Trump went further by suggesting that Zelensky was not doing enough to end the war and should be replaced. “I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal,” he said. In response, several European leaders [expressed their continued support](https://apnews.com/article/trump-diesel-russia-ukraine-senators-protest-93fa63c8a88e538f1456e7d448fc550d) for Zelensky on Sunday. Trump also advised Zelensky, again, to “do what you want” to Russia, but “don't hit refineries.” The comments came on the heels of an announcement that the U.S. made a deal to acquire Russian diesel. In a stunning reversal of U.S. policy, Trump announced on Oct. 9 that Russia had agreed to supply global markets with more than 4.8 million tons of diesel: over 300,000 tons at first, 500,000 tons in November, and 1 million tons “immediately thereafter.” He said another 3 million tons would follow “within a short period of time,” depending on the condition of Russia’s refineries. “Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST,” he wrote in a post on [Truth Social](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/117412435306815143). ## Can Russian diesel lower U.S. fuel prices? Trump has homed in on American fuel prices in the weeks ahead of midterm elections, which take place Nov. 3\. “Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority,” he said while [announcing](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/117412435306815143) the new diesel deal. According to AAA, the [average price](https://gasprices.aaa.com/) for a gallon of diesel fuel in the U.S. is $6.28 as of Oct. 11, down slightly from the Sept. 22 peak of $6.53 a gallon. That’s compared to a price of $3.67 per gallon roughly one year ago, before the war with Iran. But some experts are skeptical that an influx of Russian fuel will bring relief to struggling Americans—especially with the immediacy Trump is projecting. “The supply shortage caused by the Strait of Hormuz shutdown is simply too significant,” Michael Noel, a professor of economics at Texas Tech University, tells TIME. “Diesel prices will largely go up and down based on what happens there.” Jeff Colgan, a professor of political science at Brown University, says that there is also an unfounded presumption that Putin plans to go along with the timeline that Trump announced. “I’m skeptical about the deal on multiple levels: Does Trump’s description reflect Putin’s understanding? Assuming Putin promised anything, will Russia actually implement it?” he asks. “Even with optimistic views on all of these questions, it’s hard to see the price impact occurring before the November election.” A [Pew Research Center survey](https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2026/10/08/cost-concerns-dominate-as-publics-economic-ratings-turn-more-negative/) released Oct. 8 found that 74% of U.S. adults were very concerned about gasoline and energy prices, up from 43% in January. A separate [report](https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2026/10/08/economy-ranks-as-top-issue-in-midterms-for-all-voters-but-partisans-differ-over-the-importance-of-other-issues) showed that 84% of registered voters considered the economy very important to their vote. States that rely on farming and agriculture have been hit especially hard by rising diesel prices. [Kansas](https://time.com/article/2026/10/07/why-kansas-has-emerged-as-a-new-battleground-state-and-why-it-matters/) emerged as a battleground state as its constituents expressed mounting concerns about the Trump Administration’s policies and its handling of the crisis in Iran, illustrating how the issue may weigh heavily on the upcoming midterms. Trump seems to be aware that these voter sentiments could be detrimental at a time when the Republican Party is battling to hold its majority in the House and Senate. Among recent efforts to offset their concerns, Trump pushed for the Group of Seven countries to release 100 million barrels of oil and fuel products in the coming months, starting with “substantial” amounts of diesel, in an attempt to offset this year’s price increases. The deal was [announced](https://www.elysee.fr/en/emmanuel-macron/2026/10/02/g7-leaders-statement-on-global-energy-security-and-market-stability) Oct. 2. Trump also [signed an executive order](https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/10/president-trump-takes-decisive-action-to-lower-diesel-costs-for-american-truckers-farmers/) on Oct. 5 to temporarily allow anyone to pump so-called red-dyed diesel, which is tax-free. It is normally reserved for off-road uses such as farm and construction equipment. Last week’s Russian diesel deal is the latest of these efforts. But Olena Lennon, a practitioner in residence of National Security at the University of New Haven, believes it will not have the impact Trump claims. She calls the amounts of Russian diesel Trump is introducing to the market “minuscule.” According to the [U.S. Energy Information Administration](https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/diesel-fuel/use-of-diesel.php), Americans use about 2.94 million barrels of diesel in one day for transportation. That’s akin to 394,102 metric tons—which is comparable to the amount Russia is set to immediately release to both U.S. and global markets. Noel agrees that Trump’s efforts are just temporary fixes that do not offset the harm done by the unresolved conflict in the Middle East. He says that it is unlikely that any of these recent deals will significantly impact Americans. “These recent Band-Aids are of very limited effect on a global market and, though perhaps good political marketing, minor-to-negative in effect,” he says. He explains that even if there were some economic relief, it would be offset by the ongoing conflicts in Iran and Ukraine, which will continue to drive prices upward at the pumps and impact the economy in the U.S. “American taxpayers are just footing the bill for these wars in another way,” Noel adds. ## What does Trump's Russian diesel deal mean for Ukraine? The Russian diesel deal came with an easing of U.S. sanctions. On Oct. 9, the Treasury Department [issued a temporary license](https://ofac.treasury.gov/media/937216/download?inline) allowing transactions involving the sale, delivery, and importation of Russian-origin diesel, including imports into the United States, through April 7, 2027\. The move has raised questions about how those imports would comply with a separate [2022 law](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-117publ109/pdf/PLAW-117publ109.pdf) banning Russian energy imports, which was [unanimously supported](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/congress-votes-to-ban-russian-oil) in the Senate. To end the ban, the President must certify, among other conditions, that Russia has agreed to withdraw its forces and end hostilities under an agreement accepted by Ukraine. The announcement received immediate blowback from Zelensky, European leaders, and U.S. politicians who supported the longstanding bipartisan sanctions policies. South Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis went on NBC’s [_Meet the Press_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQgAGhBvFVc)on Sunday to articulate his position. “Look, this has deadly consequences. Giving Vladimir Putin any sense that we're going to put our foot on the brakes—versus putting our foot on the accelerator to ending this war and ensuring peace in Europe—we've got to go back,” the Republican senator said. “And I do believe there's a legitimate case for saying the president's not following the law.” Tillis is among seven senators from both sides of the aisle who on Sunday [petitioned Trump](https://apnews.com/article/trump-diesel-russia-ukraine-senators-protest-93fa63c8a88e538f1456e7d448fc550d) to “immediately reverse course” on the deal. Zelensky [called](https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2026/10/09/8057295/) the decision “weak” on Friday, saying it would generate “millions, billions” in extra revenue for Putin, enabling him to wage war “even more aggressively.” “Every dollar paid for Russian oil is money for the war,” Zelensky said[ on X](https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/2045759469389296104) in April. Lennon wonders if Russia even “has huge amounts of diesel available to export in the first place,” given Ukraine’s efforts to strike its refineries and disable the revenue stream. According to Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED), Ukrainian forces have carried out, on average, three attacks per month on oil and fuel infrastructure in Moscow and the surrounding regions since May 2026\. Those strikes are part of Ukraine’s broader effort to pressure Russia through its energy sector. Lennon argues that easing restrictions on Russian diesel sales could undercut that pressure—and weaken Ukraine’s leverage in negotiations. “By easing pressure on Moscow without securing any meaningful concessions in return, Trump is potentially weakening Ukraine’s negotiating position and signaling to Putin that he can extract concessions from Washington without offering anything of value,” she says, “all the while scoring political victories and continuing his war of aggression against Ukraine with impunity.” Lennon argues that the deal harms Washington's relationship with its European allies more than it helps the nation’s economic position. The U.S. may be “strengthening Putin's position and potentially empowering him to prolong the war,” Lennon explains. “It is simply another confirmation of Trump’s apparent interest in ending the war on Russia’s terms.” “Equally damaging is the erosion of American credibility—not only among European allies, but worldwide,” she says. As a result, she believes that global leaders will “assess the reliability of American commitments and adjust their own strategic calculations accordingly.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/10/11/trump-claims-russia-and-ukraine-have-agreed-to-an-energy-ceasefire-/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/10/11/trump-claims-russia-and-ukraine-have-agreed-to-an-energy-ceasefire-/"},"headline":"What to Know About Trump’s Russia-Ukraine ‘Energy Ceasefire’ Claim","datePublished":"2026-10-11T19:45:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-11T22:05:38.289Z","description":"Days prior to the alleged ceasefire, the President announced a diesel deal with Russia and blamed Ukraine for high fuel prices in the U.S.","url":"https://time.com/article/2026/10/11/trump-claims-russia-and-ukraine-have-agreed-to-an-energy-ceasefire-/","keywords":["russia","Ukraine","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09917c72a962ca06/6acc04ac9b2a694864152f72/AP26283814207833.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rebecca Schneid","jobTitle":"Reporter","url":"https://time.com/author/rebecca-schneid/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09917c72a962ca06/6acc04ac9b2a694864152f72/AP26283814207833.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"AP26283814207833.jpg","caption":"","creditText":"Alex Brandon—AP","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/russia/","name":"russia"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/10/11/trump-claims-russia-and-ukraine-have-agreed-to-an-energy-ceasefire-/","name":"What to Know About Trump’s Russia-Ukraine ‘Energy Ceasefire’ Claim"}}]}] ```
