BUS 472 Unit 4 Project Management Application

Every project has limitations or constraints. As our textbook points out, the number one constraint is the "availability of resources, both money and people, at the critical times they are needed" (Pinto, Project Management). We don't always have the people to perform project tasks, or the materials or equipment to complete a project. Further, money or budgets can limit project performance.

Managing and scheduling resources, which includes making sure resources are readily available, presents a challenge for any project manager.

Conduct some research on the Internet. Look for examples of projects that have suffered or are currently suffering from one of the following:

    Time constraints
    Resource constraints
    Mixed constraints

Describe the project. Include the scope of the project. Cite evidence of the type of constraint you have identified. What evidence is there of how the project is working to minimize or resolve these constraints? If you were the PM, how would you deal with and overcome this constraint?
