As a project manager at TechNova Inc., you are leading a project to develop a new software application. Midway through the project, a team member suggests adding a feature that could significantly increase customer engagement but might compromise user privacy. Which action should you take to ensure your project aligns with the organization's principles?
Reject the suggestion to avoid risks to user privacy.
Implement the feature to boost customer engagement.
Evaluate the suggestion against the company's values and consult the mission statement before deciding.
Forward the suggestion to the marketing department for approval.
Project managers need to align project decisions with the company's vision, mission, and values. Evaluating the suggestion against the company's values and consulting the mission statement ensures that any new feature aligns with core principles, such as protecting user privacy. Implementing the feature immediately risks violating company values. Forwarding the suggestion to the marketing department shifts responsibility without considering alignment with organizational principles. Rejecting the suggestion without evaluation might overlook a potentially valuable addition that could be modified to meet company standards.
