| This Month's Article: Triple Constraints - Friend or Foe? |
|
|
By Denise DeCarlo, PMP
Many people have heard of the triple constraints, but do you really leverage them? The triple constraints are defined as Scope, Time and Resources, frequently diagrammed as a triangle with each side of the triangle containing one of the triple constraints.
Scope consists of the work necessary to be performed to produce the results desired for the project. Time, of course, is the duration of time the project will consume to complete the defined scope. Resources include the money and effort expended on people (labor), services and products (for example the purchase of hardware, building materials, software, manufacturing components, etc.)
