What best defines a constraint in project management?

An opportunity to expand the project scope
A tool used to manage project risks
A limitation or restriction influencing the project's flow
A technique used for team building

The correct answer is: A limitation or restriction influencing the project's flow

A constraint in project management refers to any limitation or restriction that affects the project's progress and outcome. This can include factors such as budget, timeline, resources, or external factors such as regulations or client expectations. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately capture the meaning of a constraint. Expanding project scope is not a constraint as it goes beyond the project's set limitations and can increase project risks. Managing project risks is not the same as managing constraints, as risks may or may not directly affect project limitations. Team building, while important for project success, is not a definition of a constraint.
