Chapter 13: PMP Code of Professional Conduct

 < Day Day Up > 



Overview

The PMP Code of Professional Conduct Is the authoritative guide on how the PMP should act as a professional, and how the PMP should behave with customers and the public in general. The PMP exam candidate will be tested on the knowledge of the PMP code of professional conduct.

The code, while only one page in length, covers a broad array of dos and don’ts for the PMP. Essentially, the PMP should always take the high road. There should be no room for misconceptions, errors in judgment, or actions that could be interpreted as conflicts of interest, shady, or just plain wrong.

Whenever the PMP is considering doing something that could be seen as wrong, just remember, “When in doubt, don’t.” The full PMP code of conduct is available through PMI’s web site at: www.pmi.org/prod/groups/public/documents/info/pdc_pmpcodeofconductfile.asp

The PMP exam covers more than just the PMP code of professional conduct in regard to professional responsibility. Many of these topics have been covered in communications and human resources. The five areas of professional responsibility are:

  • Ensuring integrity

  • Contributing to the knowledge base

  • Applying professional knowledge

  • Balancing stakeholder interests

  • Respecting differences
