Knowledge, Experience, and Passing CPMAI Exam
I have a PMP, software engineering exp, and a master's degree related to AI.
This was more difficult than my personal PMP experience. I have other certs as well but this one is the best to pair with the PMP. As a software engineer, I was very impressed how PMI was able to construct the syllabus and knowledge material. It's immensely relevant for tech-leaning orgs.
The knowledge is crucial for staying up to date with the tech industry and be competitive. This will be highly beneficial if you are considering to go into tech since you will still learn life-cycles that involves data, software, architecture, etc.
PMP study helps a lot but your experience as a PM in other industries may not help much. I'm not surprised this has a high failure rate as no other experience is required. I would expect a CAPM or few years of experience might help a little bit.
That might show how much of a gap you may have with these specialized projects - so then you can confidently say that you learned a lot from this course and exam. In my opinion, the point of these certs is to learn new things and challenge ourselves anyway.
I highly recommend the official PMI-CPMAI Study Hall that includes Mock/Practice Exams. The other source I had was PMI-CPMAI Udemy course to learn via audio.
What helped the most is official resources from PMI.
