ABSTRACT
Projects have some contextual factors that provide the opportunity for forcing ethical dilemmas.
1. Temporary existence: Projects have a short-term life and go away. Some people see them as opportunities to push ethical limits to the extreme, especially those who support projects on a contractual basis. ’ey do what they’ve been tasked to do and then take o¢ to other projects or locations, oŸen without ever seeing the consequences of their actions. Instead, someone else will deal with the aŸermath: a product manager or a customer, perhaps. Contractual workers can perform poor-quality work in a soŸware system and someone, such as a customer, will experience the consequence in sustaining and maintenance. So why does it matter? AŸer all, they will be gone; it’s someone else’s problem, they reason.
