Recommendations for Managing the Triple Constraints

Managing projects is the practice of balancing the scope, costs, and timeline of a
project. Scope includes the contractual boundaries of what a project is designed to
deliver; this may be called a statement of work, a work description, or a contractual
clause. Cost includes anything that will be charged against a project, directly or
indirectly. Time refers to the contractual boundaries set around a project or task. Unanet
has several configuration recommendations to help control charges to a project. The
