[Year 12 IT Apps] Constraints vs Scope

[Mark KELLY]

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.
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.

Cheers
Mark
