PROJECT MANAGEMENT
 The main constraint linked with the work breakdown structure developed is the
time
 It is assumed that the project will be completed within 45 days and within the
budget of $60,000
 I am quite confident about the estimates as the time allocated to each phase is
enough to complete the project in a scheduled time.
