Explanation
A constraint is any factor that limits the project team's options. When a team member is reassigned and no replacement is provided, the project loses human capital - directly impacting the Resource constraint. The team now has fewer people to complete the work, which may cause downstream effects on schedule and budget, but the immediate, direct constraint affected is the resource (personnel). This is a classic example of a resource constraint: the project does not have enough of the human resources it needs to execute as planned.
