\nAs AI churns through technical skills at record speed, the updated Project Management Professional (PMP)\u00ae<\/sup> exam, launching 9 July, focuses on the durable and enduring capabilities employers can't automate<\/i><\/p>

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Roughly half of the technical skills a professional relies on today could be obsolete within five years, and in an economy reshaped by AI, uncertainty and skills scrutiny, employers are placing greater value on project professionals who can turn strategy into results. Launching today, the updated Project Management Professional<\/a> (PMP)\u00ae<\/sup> exam, the most trusted professional certification for the project management profession, is built to validate the skills that survive the churn of tools and technology. The updated certification arrives at a moment when certified project talent is emerging as a critical business asset and demand for project talent is accelerating. Organizations will need up to 30 million new project professionals by 2035, and employers are increasingly hiring for proven execution over pedigree.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nAs Dr. Kelly Heuer, VP of Learning at PMI explains, \u201cWe view professional capability on a spectrum: perishable skills, the specific tools, platforms and techniques that are essential only for today; durable skills, the frameworks and fluency that travel intact from one tool to the next; and enduring capabilities, the judgment and mindsets that compound across an entire career. AI is accelerating the decay of the perishable skills while raising the premium on durable and enduring skills.\u201d<\/p>

\nFor over 40 years, the Project Management Professional\u00ae<\/sup> certification has been the gold standard and this next iteration continues to reiterate its critical place in driving impact for professionals and organizations working to drive up project success. \u201cOrganizations are looking for people who can do more than manage task completion,\u201d said Pierre Le Manh, CEO and President at Project Management Institute. \u201cToday, professionals are being asked to prove they can navigate ambiguity, align complex stakeholders\u2019 expectations, and think critically to turn ideas into outcomes. This is how you deliver impact in the modern world of work. Using AI tools on its own is not enough to deliver project success.\u201d<\/p>

\nWhy the Distinction Matters Now<\/b><\/p>

\nAs AI and automation reshape work, organizations need project professionals who can turn change into clear direction, aligned teams and measurable results. PMI\u00ae<\/sup> research shows that execution excellence is now a corporate priority.<\/p>
