[Year 12 IT Apps] Technical or Non-Technical Constraints

Tue Mar 6 08:34:22 EST 2012

Checking the 2007-2010 study design's glossary I find this:

"Constraints - Factors that must be taken into account when solving an
information problem.Typically these factors are classified as
economic, for example budget available to create an information system;
technical, for example availability, capabilities and limitations of
equipment;
social, for example, culture, ethnicity, age, location, education, special
needs and status of end-users;
operational, for example, the requirement to use specific techniques and
procedures."

Thus, technical constraints would not include budgets.

BTW - this is another good argument for continuing to fight for the
expansion of the glossary in future IT study designs!
