Final answer:

The common constraints in project management are resources, time, and scope. 'Skill set' is not generally classified as a constraint by itself, but it is considered a part of the 'resources' constraint.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which of the listed items is not a common constraint in projects. In project management, constraints are limitations that can impact the timing, scope, resources, and quality of a project. The common constraints in project management are typically resources, time, and scope, often referred to as the triple constraint or project management triangle. Looking closely at the options provided, the constraints that are common to projects include:

  • Resources: Limited availability of equipment, materials, or personnel.
  • Imposed dates (deadlines or fixed dates): These are non-negotiable dates by which certain milestones or the project must be completed.
  • Schedule milestones: These are critical points or events in the project timeline that must be achieved by certain dates.

However, skill set is not typically classified as a constraint in project management. Although the skill set of the team can affect project outcomes, it is generally considered under 'resources' or more specifically as part of the resource capabilities rather than as a standalone constraint.
