Editor's Notes

  • #8 Note: Triple constraint is frequently represented by a triangle – because there are 3 sides in a triangle. Note: Good External and Internal working relationship as the project is being run is equally important, so that if there is a next version, people will want to continue working on it and funding the project. Triple Constraints are: Cost, Time, Scope/Quality – There must be a balance of all three that is appropriate for the project – yet one leads. For example: life saving medical device – quality and scope must be the leader. A competitor that wants to be first to market, time might be the leader. A small company with a limited budget doing version 8, might put the cost as the leader of the project. Sometime Quality is considered a fourth constraint and sometimes it is lumped in with Scope.
  • #13 These are all the people/groups/team that will help or hinder a projects success. All of these name/groups/teams are inputs into a communication plan. The joke here is that you can tell if someone is optimistic or pessimistic – with the “you” in the center red circle – do they see that as a target – bull’s eye or a center of helpful support?
