Examples

Rationale: if we know about these Constraints, and classify them as Means-Constraints, then we are aware of their Priority as being lower. We can make tradeoff decisions with this knowledge.

Example:

Effort [Tele]:

Scale: Engineering Hours.
Limit [ Department Tele, 1st whole Year of Project] 10,000 Eng. Hours
<- Tele dept. Engineering Budget.
Type: Means Constraint [Project XYZ].

Authority: Tele Department Director.


Note that the Resource-Constraint is identified as a Means Constraint in relation to a specific project.


Notes

Means-Constraints are at the same Level (“below” us) as are Means-Objectives (which are Performance-Requirements).
