You are managing a project with tight deadlines. A key stakeholder suggests adding unverified data to a report to make the project's progress look better to upper management. What is the most appropriate action for you to take according to the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct?
Explain that only verified information can be included in the report.
Ignore the stakeholder's suggestion and proceed without addressing it.

Agree to include the unverified data to satisfy the stakeholder.
According to the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, project managers should uphold the values of honesty and integrity. Adding unverified data to a report is misleading and unethical. The most appropriate action is to explain to the stakeholder that only accurate and verified information should be reported. This maintains transparency and trust. Ignoring the suggestion or complying with it violates ethical standards. Reporting the stakeholder without addressing the concern may escalate the situation unnecessarily.
