Yes, we know that all constraints need to be considered and balanced, but usually one constraint is more important than all others to stakeholders on a given project.

I'm running a one week poll to solicit feedback on this from all of you. In case none of the answer choices fit the last project you led, feel free to leave a comment in the poll itself.

Thanks!

Done, in my case, the most important constraint of my last project was Scope - Quality

In my case, it is the cost, for it will affect the company survival.

Dear Kiron
Very interesting this topic.
In my case, the most important constraint of my last project was Scope - Quality

I would say cost and then scope.

It totally depends upon the project. If you're building a nuclear containment device, quality is probably the most important. If you're managing a DIY household improvement project with your significant other, cost is likely to be the most important. If you're overseeing an interplanetary probe mission, the launch window probably matters the most, so schedule is the highest priority. Said more simply: the answer is it depends. There is no one right answer.
