the other is project manager. The scenario highlight the ethical issue in which the junior
developer received the call of the customer who was asking to create modification in the contract
related to software given to the organization. It has been examined that confirmation was given
by the junior developer to create modifications in the contract without consulting the project
manager. The video showcase the issue in which the junior developer has overridden the
organizational structure by ensuring the customer to make modification in the software. The

performed by him was not according to the rules and regulations of the company (Al-Saggaf,
2016).
