As a project manager, you discover that a team member has manipulated project data to make it appear that the project is on schedule when it is actually behind. According to the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, what should you do?
Ignore the issue to maintain team morale
Report the issue to your supervisor and correct the data
Adjust the project plan to accommodate the delay without informing stakeholders
Confront the team member privately and ask them to fix it
According to the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, project managers are obligated to uphold honesty and integrity. The correct action is to report the issue to your supervisor and correct the data to reflect the true project status. This ensures transparency with stakeholders and maintains professional integrity. Ignoring the issue or adjusting the project plan without informing stakeholders compromises ethical standards. Confronting the team member privately may address the misconduct but does not guarantee that the falsified data is corrected or that appropriate parties are informed.
