That\u2019s easy, it\u2019s a model of the constraints inherent in managing a project. Those constraints are threefold:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/cost-estimation-for-projects\">Cost<\/a>: The financial constraints of a project, also known as the project budget<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/project-scope\">Scope<\/a>: The tasks required to fulfill the project\u2019s goals<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/guides\/project-timeline\">Time<\/a>:\u00a0The schedule for the project to reach completion<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Basically, the triple constraint states that the success of the project is impacted by its costs, time, and scope. As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/project-manager-job-description\">project manager<\/a>, you can keep control of the triple constraint by balancing these three constraints through trade-offs. We\u2019ll explain how these trade-offs work in the section below.<\/p>\n<p>Another important thing to consider about the triple constraint of project management is that it doesn&#8217;t only apply to projects, but also <a href=\"\/guides\/program-management\">programs<\/a> and even project portfolios.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, project managers usually need the support from a project management office (PMO) to ensure their project&#8217;s cost, timeline and scope aren&#8217;t in conflict with other projects and programs within their organization&#8217;s <a href=\"\/guides\/project-portfolio-management\">project portfolio<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"template-download-holder\">\n\t<div class=\"template-download-image-holder\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Project-Budget-Template-for-Excel.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Project Budget Template For Excel\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Project-Budget-Template-for-Excel.png 1600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Project-Budget-Template-for-Excel-600x338.png 600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Project-Budget-Template-for-Excel-300x169.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Project-Budget-Template-for-Excel-768x432.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Project-Budget-Template-for-Excel-1536x864.png 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Project-Budget-Template-for-Excel-450x253.png 450w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Project-Budget-Template-for-Excel-384x216.png 384w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Project-Budget-Template-for-Excel-800x451.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\t<\/div><p class=\"intro\">Get your free<\/p>\n<h3>Project Budget Template<\/h3>\n<p class=\"subtitle\">\n\tUse this free Project Budget Template  for Excel to manage your projects better.<\/p>\n\t\t<button type=\"button\" data-file-id=\"68132\" data-categoryname=\"In blog post\" class=\"button green template-lightbox-trigger-68132\">Download Excel File<\/button>\n\t<\/div> \n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s true that the triple constraint is an important part of any successful <a href=\"\/guides\/project-planning\">project plan<\/a>, it doesn\u2019t determine success. Projects are made from many parts, more than the three that make up the triple constraint. That\u2019s why some project management experts have added three more constraints to the model, to better reflect the most critical areas of a project. Here they are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Quality:<\/strong> There are quality standards for every project, whether its final deliverable is a tangible or intangible product. Project managers need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-quality-management-plan\">quality management plan<\/a> to control quality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Risk:<\/strong> Risk is inherent to any project. That&#8217;s why project managers need to create a <a href=\"\/blog\/risk-management-plan\">risk management plan<\/a> to explain how project risks will be handled<\/li>\n<li><strong>Benefit:<\/strong> There are different types of benefit obtained from a project. Project managers must ensure that project stakeholders get the best financial benefit possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"section-2\">How Does the Triple Constraint Work?<\/h2>\n<p>As stated above, project managers can increase or reduce the cost, time and scope of a project with trade-offs to keep it on <a href=\"\/guides\/project-scheduling\">schedule<\/a> and under budget. Let\u2019s see how these project triangle trade-offs work with some examples.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Time and Scope:<\/strong> You can reduce your project scope to also reduce your project duration if you\u2019re running behind schedule. In the opposite case, you can increase the length of your project timeline in case the project stakeholders come up with extra project activities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost and Scope:<\/strong> By reducing the project scope, you\u2019ll need to <a href=\"\/blog\/project-execution\">execute fewer tasks<\/a>, which means lower costs. In the opposite case, a larger project scope means higher costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost and Time:<\/strong> In some projects, time and cost can be directly related. For example, the costs of renting equipment or labor are directly proportional to the time you need them for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All these scenarios apply the triple constraint for managing the project, but there are many more possible trade-offs that can occur in a project, which also involve quality, risk and benefit. Project managers don&#8217;t usually make these decisions alone, but rather rely on their <a href=\"\/guides\/pmo\">project management office (PMO)<\/a> team.<\/p>\n<p>By using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/software\/dashboard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">project management dashboard<\/a>, a manager can keep sight of the project as it progresses. Metrics such as the schedule, cost and scope of the project are easy to track. With this information, a project manager can identify issues and adjust the triple constraint to prevent those issues from developing into problems.<\/p>\n<h2>Triple Constraint Diagram: The Iron Triangle<\/h2>\n<p>The triple constraint diagram below illustrates the three interconnected constraints of scope, time and cost. The scope constraint represents the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/project-deliverable\">project\u2019s deliverables<\/a>, features and functionality. The time constraint represents the project\u2019s schedule and deadlines, and the cost represents the project\u2019s budget and resources.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-73955 size-medium\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Triple-Constraint-bw-600x453.jpg\" alt=\"triple constraint diagram\" width=\"600\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Triple-Constraint-bw-600x453.jpg 600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Triple-Constraint-bw-300x227.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Triple-Constraint-bw-768x580.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Triple-Constraint-bw-450x340.jpg 450w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Triple-Constraint-bw.jpg 1056w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A change in one constraint impacts the project quality. Think of the space inside the triangle as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/project-quality-management-quick-guide\">project\u2019s quality<\/a>. If the triangle changes shape, the quality of the project changes.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-3\">How to Manage the Triple Constraint<\/h2>\n<p>The triple constraint appears simple, but that\u2019s only on the surface. Each of the three points of this triangle can be unpacked to reveal deeper meaning.<\/p>\n<h3>Cost<\/h3>\n<p>The financial commitment of the project is dependent on several variables. There are the <a href=\"\/blog\/quick-guide-resource-management\">resources<\/a> involved, from materials to people, which all include costs.<\/p>\n<p>There are also the fixed and variable costs inherent in any project, such as equipment or labor, which must be calculated. This can seriously come into play with the use of contract workers or outsourcing.<\/p>\n<p>This is what project managers do to control costs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Estimate the costs for all the tasks in the project scope<\/li>\n<li>Create a <a href=\"\/training\/create-and-manage-project-budget\">project budget<\/a> based on the estimated costs of the project<\/li>\n<li>Use the project budget as a cost baseline, which is employed to control costs during project execution<\/li>\n<li>Control all project costs to keep spending under the project budget<\/li>\n<li>Adjust the project budget when necessary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<h3>Scope<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned, the project scope refers to all the project work required to complete the project. <a href=\"\/blog\/what-is-work-management\">Managing that work<\/a> is critical for project success. When managing scope it&#8217;s critical that you prioritize your tasks, enabling you to plan and assign resources effectively.<\/p>\n<p>To manage scope, project managers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/scope-management-plan\">scope management plan<\/a> to clearly define what project activities will be done<\/li>\n<li>Share the scope management plan with all stakeholders, so everybody is on the same page<\/li>\n<li>Use change orders to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/5-ways-to-avoid-scope-creep\">avoid scope creep<\/a> and keep track of all changes made to the project scope<\/li>\n<li>Manage stakeholder\u2019s expectations to maintain the project scope<\/li>\n<li>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/task-management\">task management<\/a> tools and techniques to keep track of all project activities in the scope<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These scope management actions taken by project managers are all essential because the amount of time each task will require is critical to the cost and quality of the final product. This can have a great impact on schedule and cost, especially so if the project is on a large scale.<\/p>\n<h3>Time<\/h3>\n<p>At its basic, the project schedule is the estimated timeline allotted to complete the project, or produce the final deliverable. Usually, this is figured out by first <a href=\"\/blog\/time-estimation-for-project-managers\">estimating the time<\/a> that each project task will take.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"\/guides\/work-breakdown-structure\">Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)<\/a> is used to identify all the project activities. Then project managers can use different scheduling techniques such as the critical path method or PERT charts to determine the total duration of the project.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what project managers do to <a href=\"\/blog\/project-time-management-strategies\">manage time<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use a <a href=\"\/guides\/gantt-chart\">Gantt chart<\/a> to visualize the project schedule, define task sequences and monitor the duration of each task<\/li>\n<li>Create policies, procedures and documentation for planning, executing and monitoring the project schedule<\/li>\n<li>Allocate resources effectively using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/better-resource-scheduling\">resource schedule<\/a> to avoid bottlenecks<\/li>\n<li>Compare the schedule baseline to actual progress to determine if projects are on track<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Examples of the Triple Constraint in Practice<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s explore some examples of the triple constraint to better understand how it plays out in a real-world context.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Construction project triple constraint example:<\/strong> Let\u2019s say there\u2019s a small retail store being built, approximately 2,000 square feet. The timeline is 6 months with a budget of $300,000. If there\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/idebamarketing.com\/navigating-last-minute-client-requests-gracefully\/\">last-minute request from the client<\/a> to add 500 square feet, this increases the scope. In return, either the timeline must be delayed or the budget increased to meet the ideal project success criteria.<\/li>\n<li><strong>IT project triple constraint example:<\/strong> If a sales team needs a new customer relationship management (CRM) built, they may have a 9-month timeframe and $250,000 budget. In terms of scope, the CRM needs to include lead management, sales reporting and contact tracking. If the sales team requests that the system be ready in 6 months, either the scope has to be reduced or the budget must increase.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manufacturing triple constraint example:<\/strong> Let\u2019s say a manufacturing company is producing 5,000 units of a new smart home device. It needs to include app integration and voice control, the manufacturing cost per unit cannot exceed $50, and all units must be produced within 3 months. If there\u2019s a sudden cost change in the budget, and each unit cannot exceed $40 in production, production either needs to slow down, which extends the budget, or the scope will be reduced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve learned what most project managers do to control the triple constraint, let\u2019s learn about the <a href=\"\/software\">project management tools<\/a> that you can use to help you with this process.<\/p>\n<h2>Templates to Help You Manage the Triple Constraint<\/h2>\n<p>To better manage the triple constraint throughout projects, consider using one of our countless project management templates for Excel and Word available on our site.
