Answer to Question #212494 in English for hangwy

Question

Consider the project to put a man on the moon. President John F. Kennedy on May 25, 1961 stated; “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him back safely to the earth.” Using the Triple Constraint concept, isolate the 3 constraints contained in Kennedy’s statement and weight them (Driver, Middle, and Weak). (

Answer 1

The Triple Constraint concept identifies scope, time and cost as the core boundaries within which a project operates. A change in one of the factors of a project will invariably affect the other two. In J.F. Kennedy's 1961 statement “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him back safely to the earth” regarding the landing on a moon project, the three project constraints can be identified.

The scope of the project from the statement is landing a man on the moon and returning him back safely to the earth. In terms of weight, the scope is distinct and therefore the driver of the statement.

The time constraint of the project from the statement is before the decade is out. This is the middle constraint from the statement because although it gives a timeline within when to complete the project, it does not give a specific date.

The cost constraint of the moon project from the statement is the commitment of the American nation. This is a weak constraint as it lacks a tangible budget for the project.
