Hi Chris. Constraints are factors that limit your choices when designing and developing a product - e.g. it must be produced within 3 months and cost no more than $x, it has to be portable/run on batteries/obey certain laws or standards, be usable by blind people, etc.<br>
Scope could well be thought of as maximum requirements; it just defines what the product should be able to achieve and what it should not be expected to do.<br><br>Cheers<br>Mark<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 15 July 2011 15:24, Paragreen, Chris J <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:paragreen.chris.j@edumail.vic.gov.au">paragreen.chris.j@edumail.vic.gov.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>
