CHAPTER 1. 1.1 VISION AND APPLICABILITY

Vision and Purpose

As practitioners of project management, we are committed to doing what is right and honorable. We set high standards for ourselves and we aspire to meet these standards in all aspects of our lives—at work, at home, and in service to our profession. This Code ofEthics and Professional Conduct describes the expectations that we have of ourselves and our fellow practitioners in the global project management community. It articulates the ideals to which we aspire as well as the behaviors that are mandatory in our professional and volunteer roles. The purpose of this Code is to instill confidence in the project management profession and to help an individualbecome a better practitioner. We do this by establishing a profession-wide understanding of appropriate behavior. We believe that the credibility and reputation of the project management profession is shaped by the collective conduct of individual practitioners. We believe that we can advance our profession, both individually and collectively, by embracing this Code of Ethics and ProfessionalConduct. We also believe that this Code will assist us in making wise decisions, particularly when faced with difficult situations where we may be asked to compromise our integrity or our values. Our hope that this Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct will serve as a catalyst for others to study, deliberate, and write about ethics and values. Further, we hope that this Code will ultimately be usedto build upon and evolve our profession. 1.2 Persons to Whom the Code Applies

The Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct applies to: 1.2.1 1.2.2 All PMI members Individuals who are not members of PMI but meet one or more of the following criteria: .1 Non-members who hold a PMI certification .2 Non-members who apply to commence a PMI certification process .3 Non-members who serve PMI in avolunteer capacity.

Comment: Those holding a Project Management Institute (PMI®) credential (whether members or not) were previously ® ® held accountable to the Project Management Professional (PMP ) or Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM ) Code of Professional Conduct and continue to be held accountable to the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. In the past, PMI also hadseparate ethics standards for members and for credentialed individuals. Stakeholders who contributed input to develop this Code concluded that having multiple codes was undesirable and that everyone should be held to one high standard. Therefore, this Code is applicable to both PMI members and individuals who have applied for or received a credential from PMI, regardless of their membership in PMI.1.3
