You are managing a big international project with very hectic schedule. The project is very important to your management. You are selecting the team in an Asian country. Since the schedule is very hectic, you can not afford to let it slip. You are trying for tough team members who can manage hectic schedule. You have two candidates for a certain technical skill. Deepa is better skilled and she has worked on similar projects with excellent recommendations that speak about her capabilities. Ram is another candidate who is almost equally skilled though he has not yet worked on international projects. Your customer does not favor women employees and hence wants you to select Ram. What should you do?
- A.
  
  Go ahead and select the candidate suggested by customer. He is also a good resource and customer wants him. There is no violation of any standard.
- B.

Correct Answer
C. Select the candidate who is more capable and suitable for the project. Otherwise you will be violating mandatory standards of fairness.

Explanation
In this scenario, the correct answer is to select the candidate who is more capable and suitable for the project. This is because selecting a candidate based on gender preference goes against the mandatory standards of fairness outlined in the PMI code of ethics. The customer's preference for a male candidate should not influence the decision, as it is important to prioritize qualifications and skills when selecting team members for a project.
