IDENTIFYING ETHICAL ISSUE
Introduction
Program director has instructed project manager of Willis project, Greg to launch
their project before the delivery date and without encryption (Scenario 3: Early Launch.
2019). This report will be describing about the existing ethical issue in this particular scenario
in relation to ACS code of professional conduct. Furthermore, a suitable recommendation
will also be provided based on prior analysis.
Discussion
An Identification of the Ethical Issue in the given Video of Early Launch
Project manager, namely Greg of Willis project has decided to provide an efficient as
well as error free product so that the client does not face any issue regarding product quality.
He knows that encryption can make this possible easily and promptly (Scenario 3: Early
Launch. 2019). However, the organizational higher authority, mainly the CEO as well as the
program director of this project has forced Greg to launch their project without encryption 1
month before date of delivery. Jason is the project developer and even he wants to include
encryption in their product. The CEO wants to launch this project earlier as according to him
this activity will be making their client happier and they can easily obtain their next contract.
The value of this contract is of high value. Moreover, they can get extra profit from the
contract and thus organizational profit would be increased. For the purpose of fulfilling such
unethical and illegal act, program director has instructed Greg to eventually deliver their
project even without any kind of encryption (Attfield, 2015). Project manager, Greg is not
ready to do so as the project might get hacked, although he is being constantly forced by his
seniors. This is a significant ethical issue as work ethics is being violated and no ethical rules
are maintained here.
