Project Management and Ethical Considerations_2

Doing Ethics Technique Case StudyQ1. What’s going on?Early launch of the project is the scenario that has been selected as the case study to analyze theproject situations using Doing Ethics Technique (DET). In this scenario, the Project Manager isdiscussing the possibility of the early launch with the Program Director. The demand has comefrom the project client and the organization’s CEO. The Program Director is not convinced withthe decision as the project is still missing out on an important functionality (Youtube, 2017). Q2. What are the facts?The Program Director has highlighted the facts associated with the early launch of the project.The project currently does not have the encryption functionality implemented in it and thedevelopment team will not be able to develop and implement the functionality in case of theearly launch of the project. The team will require time for the same. The absence of encryptionfrom the project will result in severe security occurrences and implications (Grundy, 2005). Q3. What are the issues (non-ethical)?Encryption is one of the mechanisms that are currently used for information privacy andprotection. There are many security risks and concerns that may take place in the projects whichmay have a negative impact on the client information (Heeney, 2016). Exclusion of encryption ofthe project may increase the likelihood of various security threats and attacks (Rainey & Goujon,2011).Q4. Who is affected?The decision of early launch will affect the project team as the team will not be able toinclude the encryption functionality and will be held accountable for the errors in thefuture. There will be a considerable affect on the client as the defects in the project will lead tonegative outcomes (Sollie, 2007).End users will be affected as the information and data present in the project will be at riskof loss or leakage. 3
