Lesson 7 Questions

Describe the difference between technical constraints and resource constraints (as they relate to the project schedule) and give at least three examples of each that are different than the book. Be sure to read your Gido et al. book to understand what these refer to. They are not technical requirements requested by the customer; these are constraints on the schedule!

When describing your examples, you must clearly show how the example relates to scheduling: the predecessor (Activity X) must occur before the successor (Activity Y) because [provide an explanation of the technical or resource constraint].

Answer:

Technical constraints and scheduling

Your description here:

Example 1 (in terms of predecessor, successor, schedule, and reason):

Example 2 (in terms of predecessor, successor, schedule, and reason):

Example 3 (in terms of predecessor, successor, schedule, and reason):

Resource constraints and scheduling

Give three different types of resource constraints specific to what is listed below:

Your description here:

Example 1 of human resource (people) constraint (in terms of predecessor, successor, schedule, and reason):

Example 2 for equipment resource constraint (in terms of predecessor, successor, schedule, and reason):

Example 3 for facility resource constraint (in terms of predecessor, successor, schedule, and reason):
