QUESTION 1: Project Management Overview
1.1 Discuss five constraints, besides a project budget, that a project manager must balance to
successfully complete a project. (5 marks)
ANSWER:
Five Constraints (Besides Project Budget) That a Project Manager Must Balance (5 Marks)
1. Time: Time management is crucial as delays can lead to increased costs and unsatisfied
stakeholders. The project manager must ensure the project is completed within the allocated
schedule by setting deadlines and managing resources efficiently.
2. Scope: The project scope defines the boundaries of the project. Any deviation from the initial
scope (scope creep) can affect the time and cost, so it's essential to monitor and control any
changes to the project's deliverables.
3. Quality: Quality constraints focus on meeting the project’s requirements and standards.
Balancing high-quality outcomes with the project's constraints ensures that the deliverables are
fit for purpose without exceeding the budget or timeline.
