As a project manager, you discover that a team member has intentionally falsified test results to meet a project deadline. According to the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, what is the most appropriate action for you to take?
Remove the team member from the project
Confront the team member privately before involving others
Report the issue at the end of the project to to keep on schedule
Report the team member's actions to appropriate management and take corrective action
The PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct emphasizes the importance of honesty, responsibility, and integrity. The most appropriate action is to report the team member's conduct to appropriate management and take corrective action. This response upholds ethical standards by addressing the misconduct formally and working to prevent future incidents. Ignoring the issue undermines ethical principles and can lead to larger problems. Confronting the team member privately without further action does not adequately address the severity of the ethical breach. Removing the team member without addressing the misconduct fails to uphold accountability and does not ensure that corrective measures are implemented.
