Sustainability
Project Management Professional glossary · Project Management Professional
Definition
The environmental, social, and governance dimension of project delivery, elevated toward constraint status alongside scope, schedule, and cost in PMBOK 8.
Sustainability in plain English
Think of building a house from a nested checklist: rooms break into walls, walls into tasks, and every child line has to add up to the parent — miss a line and something never gets built, add a random deck and you've snuck in unpaid work. Sustainability is how PMP keeps that checklist honest. Hold onto this precise job description: The environmental, social, and governance dimension of project delivery, elevated toward constraint status alongside scope, schedule, and cost in PMBOK 8. On a stem, name whether Sustainability is about timing, ownership, measurement, or delivery style — then eliminate the answer that borrows a cousin concept from the wrong phase.
