Impact: This constraint may limit the resources available for design, development and other project
phases. It could impact the scale of features, technology choices, and overall project quality,
requiring careful budget management and prioritization to meet project goals within financial
constraints.
2. Time constraint for project completion:
Impact: Tight timelines may lead to potential challenges in meeting all project requirements
thoroughly. It could result in increased pressure on the project team, affecting the thoroughness of
testing or limiting the scope of features. Effective time management and prioritization become
critical to delivering a quality website within the specified timeframe.
Assumption:
1. Timely client feedback
Impact: Delayed feedback may disrupt the project schedule, affecting design approvals and
subsequent phases, potentially leading to missed deadlines.
2. Availability of required technology and tools
Impact: Unforeseen technology shortages or issues may hinder progress, necessitating
adjustments and potentially impacting project quality and completion time.
Risk:
1. Technical issues during website implementation
Potential Impact: Delays in project completion, increased development costs, and potential
compromise in the functionality and quality of the website, requiring additional resources and time
for resolution.
2. Team member turnover:
Potential Impact: Loss of key skills and knowledge, potential delays, and increased project costs
due to the need for onboarding new team members or redistributing tasks among existing members.
3. Client providing inconsistent or delayed feedback:
Potential Impact: Disruptions to the project timeline, potential scope changes, and challenges in
meeting client expectations, leading to delays and additional efforts to align the project with client
requirements.
