Discussion: The Project Management Triangle
The resources for this module explore the decisions that are made by IT project managers when considering the trade-offs between time, cost, quality, and scope, also known as the project management triangle (with scope in the center). In your initial post, discuss how the shift in business priorities places additional pressure on either all or part of the triangle. For example, if leadership has determined that the organization needs to refocus on becoming an industry cost leader, project managers may need to complete projects significantly under budget by selecting low-cost suppliers, which may have an adverse effect on project quality.
In your response posts, compare your experiences (if any) to those of your peers. If you do not have any experiences, share an example from another organization. As a future IT manager, what degree of balance will you strive for to achieve project success in your organization?
