Section 5. 3. 3. 1 : Project scope statement may contain explicit scope exclusions that can assist in
managing stakeholder expectations. Scope exclusions are often a result of projectconstraints.
Section 11. 2. 2. 3 : Constraints may give rise to opportunities through removing or relaxing a limiting
factor that affects the execution of a project orprocess.
Glossary: A limiting factor that affects the execution of a project, program, portfolio, or process.
