Learning Activity 11-9: Applying the Triple Constraint


GOALS

The goal of this activity is to provide hands-on experience in documenting and communicating project constraints and priorities of time, cost, and quality or scope.

MATERIALS

  • Training Instrument 12-5: Priority Matrix

  • Handout 11-5: Project Case Study (already distributed)

  • PowerPoint slides 8-24 through 8-26 for the two-day workshop

  • PowerPoint slides 9-48 through 9-50 for the two-day workshop

  • flipchart paper.

TIME

  • approximately 10 minutes

INSTRUCTIONS

Ask participants to work with their teams to complete the priority matrix based on the case study. Have them transfer their matrix to a flipchart page for sharing with the class.

Allow teams to take a minute or two to present their matrix. Point out that it will not be at all unusual for people to have different perceptions of priorities and that in a real project it would be important to reach consensus about the priorities before the project proceeded.
