PMBoK 4th Edition does not mention the term triple constraint. It only says project constraints. So for exam just think of triple constraints as project constraints.


Customer Satisfaction is a weird addition in the answer, but its valid since if you try to cut cost and reduce scope it can impact customer satisfaction.


Refer page 6 to 12 of PMBoK
