Project Management Institute (PMI) Code of Conduct

As project management practitioners, 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. The following excerpt from the Project Management Institute (PMI) Code of Conduct explains its vision and purpose:


This Code of Ethics 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 we aspire to and the mandatory behaviors in our professional and volunteer roles.

The purpose of this Code is to instill confidence in the project management profession and to help an individual become 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.
