PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (Just an Intro)

This lesson introduces PMI’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, focusing on its importance across all project management domains. It is primarily intended as an explainer on why the next two lessons in the series look different. Additionally, it highlights the values of responsibility, respect, fairness, and honesty, offering practical examples of how these principles are applied throughout the project lifecycle. The lesson prepares you to integrate ethical decision-making into your everyday work, ensuring that ethics permeates all aspects of project management, from initiation to closing.
