Historical data indicated that successful projects used approximately the same amount of resources within each project classification. This allowed fixing the project resource allocation for each project type. The completion deadline of July fixed the end point of the schedule. Fixing the starting point of projects bound the allowable scope of projects. Having these three fixed project management variables allowed standard elements for capacity planning and budgeting."
