Study Notes
Project Management Principles
- Principles serve as foundational guidelines for strategy, decision-making, and problem-solving.
- Professional standards and methodologies are often based on principles.
- Principles for project management provide guidance for the behavior of people involved in projects.
PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct
- Principles can, but do not necessarily, reflect morals.
- A code of ethics for a profession may be adopted by an individual or profession to establish expectations for moral conduct.
- PMI is based on the four values of responsibility, respect, fairness, and honesty.
Project vs. General Management Principles
- Principles of project management can overlap with general management principles.
12 Principles
-
Be a diligent, respectful, and caring steward: Stewardship involves taking care of resources and acting with integrity, care, and trustworthiness.
-
Create a collaborative project team environment: Diverse teams working collaboratively are more effective.
-
Effectively engage with stakeholders: Engage stakeholders proactively to contribute to project success and customer satisfaction. Stakeholders impact projects, their performance, and outcomes.
-

-
Recognize, evaluate, and respond to system interactions: Acknowledge the holistic view of a project, recognizing it as a system with interconnectedness.
-
Demonstrate leadership behaviors: Effective leadership supports individual and team needs, promotes project success, and adapts to different situations.
-
Tailor based on context: Tailor methods based on context (project needs, stakeholders, governance, and environment).
-
Build quality into processes and deliverables: Meet the acceptance criteria for deliverables.
-
Navigate complexity: Constantly evaluate and navigate project complexity; complexity arises from human behavior, system interactions, uncertainty, and ambiguity.
-
Optimize risk responses: Maximize positive risks (opportunities) and decrease exposure to negative risks (threats).
-
Embrace adaptability and resiliency: Adapt to changing conditions and recover from setbacks; build into organization and project approaches.
-
Enable change to achieve the envisioned future state: Prepare those impacted by change for the transition from current state to intended future state.
