Exam CBAP topic 1 question 74 discussion

D is correct: Babok pg 114: Constraints may reflect any of the following: • budgetary restrictions, • time restrictions, • technology, • infrastructure, •policies, • limits on the number of resources available, • restrictions based on the skills of the team and stakeholders, • a requirement that certain stakeholders not be affected by the implementation of the solution, • compliance with regulations, and • any other restriction

The correct answer is D. Constraint. The $300,000 represents a constraint on the solution, specifically a cost constraint. It limits the possible solutions that can be considered, and any proposed solution must be able to be implemented and supported within this budget. The other options are not correct because: - A. Solution cost: While the $300,000 is related to the cost of the solution, it's not the solution cost itself, but rather a constraint on that cost. - B. Budget: The $300,000 is a specific budget limit, but the term "budget" is more general and refers to the overall financial plan for the project. - C. Requirements: The $300,000 is not a requirement, but rather a constraint that the solution must meet. Requirements are the specific needs and expectations of the stakeholders.

In the context of the question, the $300,000 represents a constraint. It sets a limitation on the financial resources available for implementing and supporting the solution for one year. Therefore, the correct answer is D: Constraint.
