Abstract
"Better! Cheaper! Faster!" is a battle cry in today's economy that sounds across many lines of businesses, from the investors' desks through executive management levels down to operational projects (Brandon 2006, p. 4). The three cardinal challenges of this objective are depicted in the structure of the "triple constraint" triangle illustrated in Figure I-1 (Rosenau 1981, pp.15–18). Some difficulties, however, arise from the dynamics of the "triple constraint", from the challenges associated with achieving all three dependent conditions simultaneously: "Unfortunately, the Triple Constraint is very difficult to satisfy because most of what occurs during a project conspires to pull the performance below specification and to delay the project so it falls behind schedule, which makes it exceed the budget." (Rosenau 1981, p. 15).
