IT3165 Ethics for the Information Technology Professional

Unit 5 Assignment

Team Project: IT Code of Ethics

For the final assignment and course project, due in Unit 5, your team will write a brief report on the importance of writing and adopting a code of ethics for your organization and develop a PowerPoint presentation that will include the components of the proposed code of ethics for your company. This will be your final assignment. The report written by your team will be presented to the CEO and CIO. The PowerPoint presentation will be presented to top management and supervisors as well as the CEO and CIO.

Your research of existing codes of ethics in Unit 4 will be beneficial to this project. You will use precepts and principles from ethical thinkers to justify your recommendations for each aspect of your code.

Your paper should be a minimum of three pages (double-spaced), with at least two references. The title page, table of contents, and reference pages do not count as part of the three-page minimum. Be sure your paper follows current APA guidelines, including in-text citations. This paper should include an explanation of the ethical responsibilities of information technology professionals.

Your PowerPoint presentation should be a minimum of four slides. It should include a justification for your proposal of implementing a code of ethics for the company along with some of the issues that should be covered in the code of ethics.

To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to:

Write a well-written report that provides justification of why your company should incorporate an IT code of ethics and that explains the ethical responsibilities of information technology professionals.

Develop an informative PowerPoint presentation that includes specific conduct that will be highlighted in your company’s IT code of ethics.

Identify ethical responsibilities of information technology professionals.

After your team has come to an agreement on the course project, the project manager will submit the final documents to this assignment.

Project manager: Ensure that the project meets all requirements. This includes ensuring there is a title page and a reference page. Ensure that all team members’ names are listed on the title page. Attach your team’s project to this assignment (there should be two files, the paper and the PowerPoint presentation).

All other team members (excluding project manager): Submit your agreement with the team project. Include the team name or number in the subject line.
