Ethical practice is the foundation of trust in every project we lead. To help professionals apply the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct in their daily work, the Ethics Advisory Team (EAT) has created a seven-part webinar series.
Raising an ethics concern is a serious act. Therefore, ethical reporting requires more than conviction. It requires discipline, accuracy, fairness and evidence. These five checks before raising an ethics concern can help.
Ethical questions rarely arrive with an obvious right answer. The following three scenarios explore what fairness can look like in practice—and the questions project professionals should ask before making a decision.

Despite Agile’s promise, nearly half of Agile initiatives still fail due to unclear goals, weak leadership, burnout, and structural misalignment with traditional GRC frameworks.
It begins by framing agility as an enterprise level capability driven by continuous change, rapid response, and empowered teams. It then connects these principles to PMI’s Code of Ethics emphasizing that certification holders commit to these standards from the moment they apply.

We all tackle ethical dilemmas. Wrong decisions can break careers. Which are the key challenges faced? What are some likely solutions? Where can we find effective tools? Who can apply these and why? Dry, theoretical discussions don't help. Join us for lively, light conversations to learn, share and grow!
To mark Global Ethics Day, we've curated a collection of content exploring ethics in project management from a variety of perspectives. They all remind us that ethical decision-making is not reserved for major dilemmas. It's a skill that can be developed, strengthened and applied in every project interaction.
Compliance is too often treated as something to deal with later, as a final hurdle rather than a foundation. And that assumption is one of the most reliably costly mistakes a project manager can make.
Our updated Code applies to all PMI members, certification holders, applicants, and volunteers. It promotes consistent, responsible decision-making and makes it easier to apply ethical principles in real-world situations.
Ethical conflicts are inevitable in any project. Addressing them head-on can transform challenges into opportunities for growth. Here we explore common ethical conflicts—and what PMs can do to face them with integrity.
To mark Global Ethics Day, we’re celebrating with a curation of ProjectManagement.com content that speaks to the heart of ethical project management, created by our community and members of PMI’s Ethics Advisory Team.
Acting as a project sponsor in a municipal environment means carrying not only technical and managerial risk, but reputational risk. Ethics is not optional in that role; it is central. And the lessons learned apply to all of us.
Are companies encouraging the right behaviors? Ethical ways of working should be the norm, but that isn’t always the case. And sometimes, organizations don’t want to know that.
When decisions move from human loops to machine-learning models, the feedback loop breaks. That’s the quiet risk of AI delegation. Not that machines will decide badly—but that humans will forget how to decide at all.
Through the development of an AI tool, this practitioner shares a reflection-driven, experience-backed guide for project managers looking to lead AI initiatives with clarity, ethics, and executional rigor.
As AI technologies become increasingly integrated into project management practices, organizations must develop a robust ethical framework. It requires aligning AI use with organizational values, regulatory obligations, and standards of fairness.
Project managers are expected to deliver miracles, which they often do fast and under budget. AI can help with that, but it can also push you into ethically uncomfortable territory if you’re not paying attention.
Ethical choices diminish risk, advance positive results, increase trust, determine long term success and build reputations. But there is a glitch in our decision system—self-interest. Thankfully, PMI provides a glitch code to help us navigate ethically sticky situations.
What steps are you taking to future-proof your career and your projects? Let's dive into seven bold, unconventional trends redefining project management. These will equip PMs for a future shaped by innovation, complexity and opportunity.
It is crucial to prioritize ethics and compliance with regulations when implementing AI applications. Several key activities and actions can be added to project plans to ensure that AI projects adhere to ethical standards and regulations.
