"The Trouble with the Triple Constraint "
Project Managers know well the Iron Triangle of Project Management – the so-called Triple Constraint.
Well, as it turns out, the Iron Triangle has rusted out and is being replaced. The PMI’s 4th Edition PMBOK®
Guide has no mention of the triple constraint – in fact, it instead uses a rather casual reference to a variety
of project constraints.
In our discussion with you we’d like to help close the gap created by the absence of the triple constraint and
its rather fuzzy replacement with a proposed new model that brings the triple constraint into the 4th Edition
and even the 4th dimension!
