Constraints The project has the following constraints: xx Option 1: Cost, schedule, scope, and quality are often in conflict during projects. The sponsor elected to prioritize as follows: Consult with sponsor and arrange according to project priority. Quality Scope Cost Schedule Option 2: Cost, schedule, scope, and quality are often in conflict during projects. The sponsor elected to prioritize these constraints as displayed in the following matrix: Consult with sponsor and arrange according to project priority. Table 1: Constraint Matrix CONSTRAINT Accept Flexible Fixed Cost X Schedule X Scope X Quality X Constraint Matrix General Guidelines: Accept: The constraint is the first place to adjust to account for a change in the project Flexible: A change can occur in this constraint only after the options that made changes in the constraint are exhausted marked “Accept” Fixed: No changes are desired in the constraint unless all other options have been exhausted Constraint Matrix Rules: Each constraint can be in only one column (Accept, Flexible, or Fixed) There can be only one Flexible constraint There can be only one Fixed constraint Project Approach The method of project management to be used in this project is based on the Project Management Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and the North Dakota Project Management Institute’s Guidebook. Both methodologies are based on initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing processes to ensure that the project completes its objectives on time and on budget, while meeting the quality expectations of the stakeholders.
