Study Notes
Project Management Triangle
- The triangle represents the balance between Cost, Time, and Quality/Performance in project management.
- The goal is to achieve an acceptable level of each constraint without compromising the others.
Cost
- This represents the budget for the project.
- Economic constraint means the project should stay within budget.
- If the cost is reduced, it might impact the quality or timeline, or vice versa.
Time
- This represents the deadline for the project.
- A project needs to be completed within a reasonable timeframe.
- If a project needs to be completed faster, it might increase costs or decrease quality.
Quality/Performance
- This represents the standards and requirements for the project.
- It includes aspects such as safety, value, and benefits.
- Projects need to meet adequate standards.
- If quality is improved, it may require more time and resources.
Interdependencies and Constraints
- Balancing Act: It's challenging to meet all three constraints equally.
- If one area is restricted, adjustments may be needed in other areas (e.g., cost restricted, adjustment in time or quality)
- Acceptable, Reasonable, Adequate: These terms represent the goal of finding a solution that meets an acceptable level of each constraint without compromising any one side.
