Question 9: What is project scope? What is constraint? In what three ways are constraints classified?
Project scope: Refers to defining the specific boundaries, or extent, of the project.
Constraint: A constraint(s) is a requirement or condition that the system must satisfy or an outcome that the system must achieve. Constraints are classified as:
Present VS Future: Is the constraint something that must be met as soon as the system is developed or modified, or is the constraint necessary at some future time?
Internal VS External: Is the constraint due to a requirement within the organization or does some external force, such as government regulation, impose it?
Mandatory VS Desirable: Is the constraint mandatory? Is it absolutely essential to meet the constraint, or is it merely desirable?
