Explanation

When new functionality is requested, scope is the first constraint that must be updated because it defines what the project will deliver. Adding functionality is by definition a change to the project's scope. All other constraints-requirements (A), resources (B), and schedule (D)-are downstream of scope. You cannot determine what new requirements are needed, what resources to add, or how long tasks will take until you first formally document the expanded scope. The scope change then triggers cascading updates to the other constraints through the integrated change control process.
