You are managing a project and one of your close friends is also a manager at the client organization. During the project execution, your friend asks for changes to be made in the project scope, and with the reasoning that the changes are critical to the success of the project, he asks you to handle them on an informal basis. He argues that if you want to follow the normal change procedures you will lose considerable time. What should you do in this situation?

Question $25$ options:

Explain to the manager that the change should be handled through the formal change management process and it should be documented.

Perform the changes according to the manager's request because they are crucial to the project success, but document them later on when the project is on track and there are no more changes to be made.

Since what the manager has asked you is unethical you should refuse the changes.
