Manage episode 511403755 series 3654762

PMI’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct isn’t a side topic — it’s a core exam filter. On test day, PMI is asking: Can I trust you to lead this project with integrity?
In this episode, we break down the four values — Responsibility, Respect, Fairness, and Honesty — with vivid examples, red lines, and the common traps that cause students to stumble. You’ll learn:
The gold standard behaviors PMI expects you to demonstrate.
The absolute NOs that always eliminate answer choices.
The common confusion points (gifts, bribes, favors, cultural practices) — and how PMI wants you to think about them.
The exam “common sense” tools: the Front-Page Test, the Law → Policy → PMI ladder, and the 4D Rule (Disclose, Decline, Document, Delegate/Recuse).
A mini quiz of real exam-style scenarios where we walk through the right and wrong choices together.
👉 Bottom line: Skills make you a project manager. Ethics make you a leader. And on the PMP exam, ethics can make the difference between passing and failing.
