Communicate an understanding of the relevant legal and ethical issues related to the
project management profession
The project manager should behave ethically and incorporate the ethical standers in
every transection executed by him/her, More over the project manager should follow
and adopt the provision of all laws of lend, and try to follow the legal requirement
beyond the later of laws and sprites. While reviewing my personal skill and level of
knowledge, I feel that the knowledge of various ethical and legal theory are missing
on me, and I need to undertake more training and gain more experience in the areas of
ethical and legal aspects as if applicable to any project or body corporate, (Linsner, R.
(2012).
During our academic term, we learn the importance and contribution of team work
and coloration. After the experience of working in team, I can understand
importance of team work and communication among the team members.
Strength and weakness of in skill and knowledge
The practice experience at work place had teach us that managing the project and
working in team with other peoples will place you one step ahead from the current
position. Further working and managing aspects are critical aspects for continues
growth and self-developments, but the negative things to work in groups that your
own decision and or your personal option may club in the groups decision and you
may not be in position to be a subject expert.
