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.
