Read through the information about ethics and academic integrity. Then, in the Team Ground Rules area, list the rules you would implement as a project manager for your project team.
Ethics
The Project Management Institute’s Code of Ethics for project management professionals includes the following values:
· Responsibility – Duty to take ownership for the decisions we make or fail to make, the actions we take or fail to make, and the consequences of that result.
· Respect – Duty to show a higher regard for ourselves, others, and the resources entrusted to us – people, money, reputation, the safety of others, and the natural or environmental resources.
· Fairness – Duty to make decisions and act impartially and objectively, free from competing self-interest, prejudice, discrimination, and favoritism.
· Honesty – Duty to understand the truth and act in a truthful manner both in our community and in our conduct.
Academic Integrity
As a student in this project management course, you have the duty to create and submit original work and not the works created by the efforts of others. You also have the duty to report any instances of cheating, plagiarism, copying, or heavy borrowing from the work of others.

Risk Register – Section 10
For the Give Back Gala project, the Risk Register and Probability Impact Matrix represent the Risk Management Plan. To complete the Risk Register, list each potential risk in your project, including input from the Business Case and additional associated information in the table.
· Columns B-E are the risk identification.
· Risk description
· Risk status (Active or Inactive)
· Risk category (Budget, Project Owner, Resources, Scheduling, Scope, Team, or Technology)
· Risk mitigation or treatment (Avoidance, Reduction, Retention, or Sharing)
· Columns F-H are the qualitative ratings.
· Probability values are measured from 0, no chance of occurrence or no longer a risk, to 5, occurrence is nearly certain.
· Impact values are measured from 0, no impact from occurrence, to 5, disastrous if occurs. The impact rating is based on the measured impact against the measurable project factors, such as quality, cost, schedule, performance, etc.
· Risk score is the sum of the probability and impact values.
· Columns I-L are for the risk response information:
· Risk response
· Trigger or threshold
· Risk owner
· Comments (optional)
