The training introduces participants to the world of managing the three main constraints of a project: scope, time and cost. Detailed definition of these parameters is a key element of project planning. The scope determines the target products of the project and is the result of the approval of the requirements of its stakeholders. It finds expression in the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), which forms the basis for defining project activities, allocating resources, and creating a schedule.
