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?
*****NOTE******
Do some research online for a project that is having challenges with time, resource, or mixed constraints. Ensure when responding you offer an overview of the project, identify the constraint, and has there been any work to resolve or minimize such constraint? Finally, relate it back to the textbook, and identify if you were the PM, how would you work to overcome the constraint. Please put some thought into this, and respond with a thorough response.
