A manager once brought up "there are three levers - scope, time (deadline), money (people)", and while it's probably not revolutionary, it did stick with me.
Add more "must have" scope, and something else has to give.
- fridif 5y agoI would argue that the scope lever should be set to 60%, time 60%, and money 35% for software projects. Software projects are kind of like ovens-- if something cooks perfectly at 300 (temperature units), using 25 minutes and using 5 (money units), that does not mean it will cook perfectly at 600 temperature units using 12.5 minutes and 10 money units. Most likely it will burn.
