2. Software project management is the
collection of techniques used to develop
and deliver various types of software
products.
For a successful software project
management, there have to be defined
some relevant ethical principles, and also
to be applied

3. The main ethics should be: honor,
honesty, bias, professional adequacy, due
care, fairness, consideration of social
cost, effective and efficient action.
To respect all these ethics, you have to
respond to some exact questions, and
then you know if you had applied them

4. These principles can be used to analyse,
inform, and colour practice within
computing and software project
management in particular.
For a structured project management
there are ten steps that have to be
followed

5. Those ten steps are: visualize what the
goal is, make a list of jobs that need to be
done, ensure there is one leader, assign
people to jobs, manage expectations,
allow a margin of error and have a
fallback position, use an appropriate
leadership style, know what is going on,
tell people what is going on, repeat the
steps until the goal project is achieved

6. The project management process for
software development must
accommodate an ethical perspective.
 Project management should be guided by
a sense of justice, a sense of equal
distributions of benefits and burdens and
a sense of equal opportunity, then they
will be ethically aligned.
