Question 1

For your capstone project, describe how you might have to use the triple constraint (scope / resources/ schedule) to modify your project execution

Answer 1

• Scope: If scope is added to we will need to reschedule assigned tasks
• Resources: Resources cannot be added to as we have a fixed group of 5. If anyone is to fail or drop out for any reason we may have to change schedule and/or reduce scope to accommodate the amount of people.
• Schedule: Cannot modify end date. Short term scheduling of assigned tasks would be modified if scope or resources were changed. May have to reallocate time to account for added or dropped scope elements.
