Order description:

Before beginning this discussion, read the Project Management Institute (PMI) Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (Links to an external site.)https://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/public/pdf/ethics/pmi-code-of-ethics.pdf?sc_lang_temp=en

During discussions about resource allocations, Sandra, one of your team members in the Cool Widgets scenario, suggests a resource in New York who could deliver the training to the employees in that office. Sandra has worked with the resource before and enthusiastically recommends the firm. This is a welcomed idea because the location of the Cool Widgets office is in a small town, a two-hour drive north of New York City. After the meeting, you discover by accident that the resource is Sandra’s brother, who owns and operates the training company she has recommended. After reviewing the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, identify which potential ethical violations exist. Explain why Sandra’s recommendation could have ethical problems, then explain how you will address the resource recommendation by your team member. Your initial response should be at least 250 words. You are encouraged to post your required replies early during the week to promote more meaningful and interactive discourse in this discussion.

Begin this discussion by explaining the concept of scope creep. Then identify two areas in your Cool Widgets’ plan where the potential for scope creep is high. Explain how you, as the Project Manager, might minimize the effects of scope creep on the training project and improve the potential for the success of your project. Support your findings by citing either the text or the PMBOK® Guide (PMI, 2017) and one additional scholarly, peer-reviewed or credible source. Your initial response should be at least 200 words.
