Project Constraints and Risks
Overview/Description
Imagine a world with unlimited resources, no deadlines, unlimited funding and all without any risk; imagine. Projects do include deadlines, budgets, assumptions and resource limitations; projects also include technology requirements as well as many unforeseen factors; not everything works out as expected. Documenting and incorporating project constraints and assumptions into the project scope description and project plan are important to help mitigate project problems. In this course you will learn to identify and appropriately manage project constraints and risks.
