Why PMP Needs 3 Years Exp, PM Jobs in AI Era, PMP Mindset, PMBOK Reviewers: PMC Q&A

The PMP exam has one requirement that stops many professionals in their tracks: three years of project management experience. But why does PMI mandate it, and what does that experience actually need to look like? That question alone opens up a bigger conversation about what the PMP certification is really designed to measure.

This Q&A session goes well beyond exam eligibility. It covers the shift in the project manager’s role in an AI-driven workplace, what the PMP mindset actually means in practice (and why so many candidates misread it), and how to become a PMBOK reviewer if you want to contribute to the standard itself. These are the career-defining questions that most study guides skip entirely.

And if your exam is tomorrow? There is a specific segment in this video built just for you. Watch the full video above to get clear, direct answers to all five questions.
