The Project “Scope-Resource-Schedule” (SRS) Model
Also known as the “triple constraints” model, a project success is often contingent upon “triple constraints”, i.e. project scope, resource and schedule. A good project management and his team should be capable of delivering high quality and successful projects outcomes within scope, on time using the allocated resources. The relationship among these three “constraints” is such that if any one of the three factors changes, at least one other factor is likely to be affected also.
Participants will learn how to manage the “triple constraints” and meet the challenging demands of a project.

In this section, the following will be covered:
