27. Answer: c

The request and agreement to a specific date for completion of a particular

milestone in the project is called a constraint. Constraints for project tasks and

activities that do not put them on the critical path are not necessarily a problem

as long as delays in the schedule do not ultimately place them on the critical

path. Some process constraints may be predefined as constraints. For example,

management may specify a target completion date rather than allowing it to be

determined by the planning process. Constraints are factors that will limit the

project management team’s options. For example, a predefined budget is a con-

straint that is highly likely to limit the team’s options regarding scope, staffing,

and schedule.
