Yasmin Fujimoto is training new team members at Trailhead Partners on project management fundamentals. Match each scenario on the left with the correct classification on the right. Items: 1. The marketing system must integrate with existing CRM by year-end 2. A vendor might delay delivery due to supply chain disruptions 3. The IT team will be available to support implementation 4. Internet connectivity has been unstable for two weeks Which option correctly matches each item to its description?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. The marketing system must integrate with existing CRM by year-end → Constraint 2. A vendor might delay delivery due to supply chain disruptions → Risk 3. The IT team will be available to support implementation → Assumption 4. Internet connectivity has been unstable for two weeks → Issue

Explanation

Constraints are limiting factors (mandatory integration, fixed deadline). Risks are uncertain future events that may impact objectives (potential vendor delay). Assumptions are factors believed true without proof (team availability). Issues are current problems requiring resolution (ongoing connectivity problems).

**Why not B:** This option incorrectly classifies the CRM integration deadline as an issue and unstable internet connectivity as a constraint. The integration deadline is a limiting requirement imposed on the project (a constraint), while unstable connectivity is a current problem affecting work (an issue) — these classifications are swapped.

**Why not C:** This option incorrectly classifies the CRM integration deadline as an assumption and vendor delivery concerns as an issue. The deadline is a mandatory requirement (a constraint), not something believed to be true without proof. Additionally, a potential vendor delay is a future uncertainty (a risk), not a current problem.

**Why not D:** This option incorrectly classifies the CRM integration deadline as a risk and vendor delivery concerns as an assumption. The integration deadline is a firm requirement imposed on the project (a constraint), and vendor delivery uncertainty is a possible future event (a risk), not something assumed to be true.
