PK0-005 Practice Question: Which TWO of the following are commonly…
Which TWO of the following are commonly considered as project constraints according to the Project Management Body of Knowledge?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the classic triple constraint (scope, time, cost) and expects candidates to distinguish between a constraint and a knowledge area or process, so the trap here is confusing 'communication' or 'quality' (which are processes/objectives) with the fundamental limiting factors of a project.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Scope
According to the PMBOK Guide, the triple constraint (also known as the iron triangle) traditionally includes scope, time, and cost (budget). Scope defines the work required to deliver the project's deliverables, and any change to scope directly impacts time and cost. Therefore, Scope (D) is a core project constraint.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Communication
Why it's wrong here
Communication is a process, not a constraint.
- ✗
Quality
Why it's wrong here
Quality is often a component but not typically a primary constraint; it's affected by constraints.
- ✗
Resources
Why it's wrong here
Resources are related to cost but not a primary constraint itself.
- ✓
Scope
Why this is correct
Scope is a fundamental constraint.
- ✓
Budget
Why this is correct
Budget (cost) is a classic constraint.
