Enterprise Environmental Factors (EEF)

Conditions, not under the immediate control of the team, that influence, constrain, or direct the project.

Definition

EEFs can be internal (organizational culture, structure, infrastructure, resource availability) or external (market conditions, regulations, legal restrictions, social and cultural influences). They are inputs to many planning processes.

Example

Government data-residency regulations and a company's hiring freeze are both EEFs.

Exam tip

If the item is a template or historical record it is an OPA; if it is a condition such as law or culture it is an EEF.
