Nt1310 Unit 3 Project Constraints

584 Words3 Pages

Each project has its own unique attributes, but all projects share the same constraints. Scope, time and cost are the three constraints which can be found in every project. The “triple constraints” is the name given to identify the three constraints.
The scope identifies the requirements within a project which will be completed during the project and culminate into the final deliverable. Time is the time is takes to complete the project. Cost is the allotted budget required to complete the project. Cost includes material, resources, labor and any item within the project which has a cost associated with it.
The three constraints are interdependent and a change to one can affect the one or both of the other constraints. If more requirements are added to the scope of the project, then it is likely for the amount of time and cost to increase as well. If the time to complete a project is decreased, then some of the requirements in the scope may not be completed or …show more content…

The project has been started, the scope, cost and time have been established and the project is underway. The customer would like to have an additional feature added to the product, which changes the scope of the product. The new feature will take an additional week and 60 man-hours to develop. The customer feels the change will elevate the quality of the product. In this situation, the scope was changed and it caused an increase in time, cost and quality.
The triple constraints can be used as a means to determine if a project is successful, but it should not be the main factor. Meeting the time, cost and scope requirements of a project does seem to mean the project is a success, but if the customer is not happy with the quality is it really a success. Other factors like customer satisfaction, company objectives and a solid field of product adaption by customers should be added to the triple constraints to determine if the project is a

    At the beginning of round one we had only one product available which was cake. As a company, we decided it would be best to move cake into the low-tech segment on the perceptual map. In order to do that we needed to make adjustments to the performance and size category. The performance was a little low from where we were wanting it. The first step we took to move its position was by increasing the performance from 6.4 to 6.9.

    I have chosen the predictive modeling assignment as a project to prioritize the three critical constraints scope, time and money of the priority matrix. Here, the project champion is my professor with whom I have discussed regarding the negotiation of the constraints to complete the project successfully with the given budget and time specified. Firstly, consider the budget for the project .It will be rigid as our professor gave me a SAS JMP software to get installed in my system to complete the project. So, money will be the least priority.

    Hey my name is Keith Starks and I want to start talking about how LED Pendulum Metronome started from and the founder of LED Pendulum Metronome. In 1696 Etienne Louie first successfully used an adjustable pendulum in the construction of the first mechanical metronome. Also his design did not make any sound and did not include an escapement with which to keep the pendulum in motion. And I think In order to get the correct pulse with this kind of visual devices, the person that working on it needs to watch the precise moment where the pendulum is exactly vertical. Also as the left and right positions are constantly changing due to the decreasing amplitude.

    After compiling all of the ingredients into a numbered list, I find out that every product “purchased” at Harris Teeter would account for $116.19 over the budget. The few adjustments I made to my shopping list beforehand did not help reduce the total to a reasonable price either. While I was going through all of the products at home, I crossed out a few unnecessary items that were optional or switched to products with a lower price just to see if I could be within the budget. Eventually, after I was done “shopping” and tallying up all of the prices, the cost still exceeded the price that I calculated in my head. As I went down the aisles searching for foods on my grocery list, I kept a close eye out for products that had nutritious labels such as organic, fresh, or low in sodium so that the college student I chose could receive the right amount of nutrients needed for a healthy lifestyle.

    Assignment 1 What is Web Server Scripting? Explain the principles of web server scripting: Web server scripting is simply where a script is executed on the web server before a webpage is sent to the user. This means that the files that the user can customised rather the layout or information shown on the webpage once they load it up, an example of this would be, on Facebook once you login you will get a news feed, which is for you alone and no one else. This makes webpages dynamic; they can change depending on circumstances of the user instead of being a simple static page which can’t change rather the layout, information and so forth.

    (Aaron J. Shenhar & Dov Dvir. 2007) Every project which exists has a time deadline but as the project begins, variability in the duration of activities and disruptions to the resources began to occur which result in deviation to the schedule (Swartz Stephen M, R 12/2008). Deepwater Horizon is considered as Fast or Competitive paced project as it did not consider the time critical constraint because if it had it would have been a failure even before the first explosion took place on the rig as the project was already running late from its expected completion date. Though from market and budget perspective, any project is supposed to be completed as soon as possible but it could prolong according to the circumstances.
