Project management Glossary of Terms - Constraints
Constraints – restrictions that affect the project limiting the options about scope, resources and schedule.
By the imposed limitations, they are important input data for the Scope Definition and Planning as part of the Project Scope Management.
Examples of constraints:
- contractual obligations
- cost, time, quality

In RationalPlan Project Management Software a special step of the Project Guide is assigned for Assumptions and Constraints documentation.
