Constraint

In the context of project management, a constraint is defined as a limitation or a restriction that impacts the project’s scope, schedule, budget, or quality objectives. Constraints can be internal or external factors, such as budget constraints, resource availability, regulatory requirements, or technology limitations. Identifying constraints early in the project planning process is crucial to ensure that the project team has a clear understanding of the limitations and can devise strategies to mitigate their impact. Effective project managers are adept at managing constraints and balancing competing demands to deliver a successful project within the defined limitations. Recognizing and addressing constraints is essential to ensuring project success and meeting stakeholder expectations.
