A project can hit every deadline and stay within budget, and still fail the people it was meant to serve, when the team running it cuts corners, hides mistakes, or puts personal gain ahead of the project's real goals. That is why ethics is not a "soft" add-on to project management; it is one of the things that decides whether a project earns trust or loses it.

This course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy looks at where professional ethics come from, what separates general morality from the ethics of a specific profession, and the concrete principles every project manager and team member should hold to, from confidentiality and transparency to staying free of personal bias.
