10. Traditional Iron Triangle of Constraints
Scope
Cost Schedule
How different constraints affect the quality of the outcome
Balance between different factors to ensure project quality delivery
Change in one has impact on other two
Scope is the primary driver. Change in that, changes others.
11. Cost Scope
Schedule
Agile Iron Triangle – Inverted Triangle
Schedule is primary driver.
Schedule is kept fixed (time boxing unit) and others are allowed to vary
This inverted view still confirms to sticking to the plan; is an iron triangle
It is recommended that resource are also fixed (leading to fixed res cost)
