Editor's Notes
- A project manager who fails to uphold the standards of the profession can have damaging impacts to the project and the organization, as well as to the profession as a whole. If someone with a PMP certification does not act professionally and ethically, it diminishes the credibility of the certification and the practice of project management
- Have you agreed to start a project without being sure the end date could be met? Have you given an inaccurate project schedule? Have you started a project without the Project Charter or WBS? Do you have the authority necessary to manage the project?
- Assertive – Confidently aggressive or self-assured; confident and direct in claiming one’s rights or putting forward one’s views. Control – to exercise restraint or direction over; to hold in check; curb. Domination or command. Do you have such an attitude? Being assertive and in control as a project manager is required. In every country and every culture!!!
- For the exam, maintain a PMI focus
- Let’s look at the four categories in PMI’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. Now let’s take a more detailed look at some of the points in each category.
- What about when it makes you look bad? Put the project’s needs before your own. This can be difficult to apply. Do you make copies of music or a book? Are they violations of copyright law?
- International copyright laws give the owner of the copyright the exclusive rights to make copies of the work and to prepare derivative works based on the work. It is illegal to infringe upon these rights – that is, to use the copyrighted work in certain ways without the owner’s permission. For example, without the copyright owner’s permission, no one may copy or reproduce any part of a book, create new material based on or incorporating any part of a book, or sell or distribute copies of a book except in limited instances covered by the Fair Use Doctrine.
- Do you provide your resource managers with advance notice? Do you provide a realistic schedule? Do you back your team member’s reputation? Do you look at the world from just your own perspective or culture? You should uncover cultural differences. Do you get people to do what you want or what is right?
- What is bribery? Can you receive gifts? Disclose conflict of interest. Do you promote PMI or yourself?
- Can I trust you? What are the consequences?
- As PMP certification holders, we have a responsibility to uphold the standards of the profession and prove the value project management brings to all who benefit from successful project results.
