 Project Goals and Constraints

 Projects should have specified golas,

 Goals can be described both by:

 Scope – “the sum of all products, services, and results to be provided
by the project”
 Quality – “the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfils
requirements”.

 Scope + quality = Performance (good enough to satisfy

the customer)
 Project Goals and Constraints

 General constraints are:

 Time
 Cost

 “If the project were to proceed exactly according to plan,

it would be on time, on budget, with the agreed upon
scope, and the agreed upon quality.”

 Which one to sacrifice? (Tough decision)
