What are project constraints and risks?

Project constraints are limitations and risks that could impact quality, overall results, and ultimate project success. There are three primary constraints that most project managers would consider immediately, which are time, scope and cost. Yet, closely linked are also quality, resources and risk.

What are some examples of constraints?

These project constraints are as following.

  • Common Project Constraints #1: Cost.
  • Common Project Constraints #2: Scope.
