This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
- The classic Triple Constraint (Iron Triangle) consists of Scope, Time, and Cost, where a change in one forces a trade-off in the others.
- The modern PMI approach for the CAPM exam expands this to six competing constraints: Scope, Schedule, Cost, Quality, Resources, and Risk.
- How exam questions will present scenarios requiring you to identify which of the six constraints are impacted by a specific project event.
- That a common exam trap is to forget the interdependence of constraints; you cannot hold all six constant when a change is introduced.
- Why Quality is often considered a central constraint, as it is impacted by decisions made across all other areas.
