The project priority matrix has been developed as follows.
Time Cost Performance
Constrain 
Enhance 
Accept 
Justification – In the project priority matrix, time is marked as accept, cost is marked as
constrain and performance is marked as enhance. In this project, as evident from the
requirements, time is not a significant problem for the organisation and also there are no time
limits set for the project. As a result, the organisation is ready to accept any time frame for the
project as long as it is reasonable and does not result in extra costs. Cost is marked constrain
because the project does not involve any significant monetary gain for the organisation. As a
result, the organisation needs to ensure the costs are minimized and there are no extra costs
involved in the project. Finally, the performance of the event must be enhanced in order to
ensure maximum funds that can be donated to Dress for Success that is the main objective of the
project.
