PK0-004 Question #1014: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is C: Resources. The triple constraint (and its extensions) includes scope, schedule, cost/budget, quality, and resources. Authorizing overtime directly impacts the Resources constraint - team members are being asked to work beyond normal hours, which affects their availability, energy, and cost

Question

A project manager who is leading a project nearing completion, has been authorized to utilize overtime to finish the project on time. Which of the following constraints is MOST likely to be affected?

Options

AQuality
BScope
CResources
DDeliverables

Explanation

The triple constraint (and its extensions) includes scope, schedule, cost/budget, quality, and resources. Authorizing overtime directly impacts the Resources constraint - team members are being asked to work beyond normal hours, which affects their availability, energy, and cost to the project. While budget is also affected (overtime pay), the direct constraint being stretched is the resource itself (human capital). Scope and quality are not directly changed by overtime; deliverables are what the project produces, not a constraint. Resources - the people doing the work - bear the direct burden of overtime.
