A project team has determined it will need to source data from a system that was not part of the project scope. The role of the project manager is to analyze which of the following impacts?

While technical design is an impact, this option is less comprehensive than D as it omits quality, a critical project constraint.

Business process impacts and resourcing are relevant, but schedule, budget, and quality are the core project constraints that encapsulate these broader effects.

New software and hardware requirements are potential solutions or causes of impact, not the fundamental impacts on the project's constraints themselves.

Adding a new data source not in the original scope will inevitably affect the project's timeline (schedule) due to new integration efforts, its financial resources (budget) for additional work, and the final deliverable's fitness for purpose (quality) if not properly managed. These three elements represent the critical project constraints that must always be analyzed when a scope change is considered.
