List and Describe the Three Factors That Constrain All Projects

Question

Examlex · Accepted Answer

The Answer is Time = the window of opportunity in which a project must be completed to provide a benefit to the organization; this needs to be done when students aren't using the system (which is probably a narrow window in between summer school and regular term)
Cost = the actual amount of resources, including cash and labor, that an organization can commit to completing a project; the software will cost something unless they go with open-source, the hardware will cost something unless they go with a cloud computing or outsourced solution, the IT staff will cost something or they will have to pay consultants to implement and manage the system
Scope = the processes that ensure that the project includes all the work required - and only the work required - to complete the project successfully; the system has to do everything the faculty, staff, and students need, it needs to be able to handle the registration process (everything needs to be automated, etc.)
