PMI'S REVISED CODE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT RELEASED FOR COMMENT
The exposure draft of PMI’s revised Code of Professional Conduct has been released and is available to members for comment. The new code is intended to replace both the PMP code of ethics and the PMI member code of ethics.
According to Debbie O' Bray, Chair of PMI’s Ethics Standard Development Committee: “As stewards of our organizations’ precious resources and ambassadors for the project management profession, we proudly hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. For the past three years PMI volunteers have been working on a revised code of professionalism, a code that reflects the needs of a globally diverse membership, and a code that reflects best practice in the field of ethics, addressing the realities of today’s business environment.”
The Ethics Standard Development Committee comprised 13 PMI members from Costa Rica, USA, Bulgaria, Canada, South Africa, Israel, Poland, Hong Kong, and Germany. According to PMI, the code “was developed based on substantive input from hundreds of PMI members and stakeholders in two global surveys and eight focus group interviews, and from best practice insights collected from 24 professional organizations.”
The exposure draft is available for comment until March 10. As with other material developed by PMI, reviewers are required to sign a license agreement assigning copyright to PMI and agreeing to immediately report any copyright violations.
