What is the Triple Constraint?What is the Triple Constraint?Project management involves competing demands between cost (including quality and risk), schedule, and performance. This is sometimes called the Triple Constraint, or Iron Triangle. The triple constraint is a framework for evaluating competing project demands.

It is shown as an equilateral triangle to illustrate that all three are in balance.
RII / ODU Fundamentals of Project Management Course
PrioritizationPrioritizationEnsuring All Stakeholders Agree on PrioritizationDifferent stakeholders have different priorities, and typically, the sponsor is not the only major stakeholder. There can be key stakeholders both internal and external to the project. Therefore, it is up to the project manager to ensure all stakeholders have agreed to the pre-determined priority of the triple constraint components.
Ultimately, the sponsor is the one funding the project, and should therefore have the final say……
