Ethics in Project Management 

With support from the Ethics Member Advisory Group at PMI, we have been having discussions about ethics at work on the PMI UAE social media pages. I enjoy reading comments and posts from our fellow members on various topics and discussions on our various social media channels. Keep up the good work and contribute your experience.

PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (the Code) for Project Managers describes the expectations that we have of ourselves and our fellow practitioners in the project management community. The code articulates the ideals to which we aspire as well as the behaviors that are desired in our professional and volunteer roles we hold. The purpose of the Code is to instill confidence in the project management profession by providing a common frame of behavior for project managers and to help an individual become a better practitioner. For me, it goes beyond the profession to my personal life, ethics is the main pillar in all our aspects of life.

The Code addresses the areas of responsibility, respect, fairness, honesty and cultural competence. In a short sentence, we could sum up The Code by saying “don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie”.
