Project Management Iron Triangle<\/strong><\/p>\n

The iron triangle of project management which is popularly known as the Project Management Triangle is one of the new buzzwords that a Project Management Professional<\/strong> must familiarize with while managing projects. Unlike its name, the term project management triangle is a simple representation of three constraints that every project manager comes across irrespective of the project type. The three constraints represented in the triangle represent time, scope, and budget<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Strategies for Dealing with Project Challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n

The three constraints help in overcoming various challenges that are faced by a project manager while carrying out projects. Some of the major challenges are listed below.<\/p>\n

Improper accountability:<\/strong><\/p>\n

the most crucial task for a project manager is to prepare a budget before carrying out a project. However, at times, a project manager may fail to record the expenses and resources consumed for specific activities.<\/p>\n

Overpopulating the project team: <\/strong><\/p>\n

In various circumstances, a project manager is forced to introduce new personnel to the team. Costs involved in including such personnel must be tackled by ensuring that the team fully understands the scope of a project.<\/p>\n

Unexpected delays: <\/strong><\/p>\n

While carrying out a project unexpected situation can cause delays in delivering the project. The factors can be external, internal, or general forcing a project manager to get back on schedule using any means necessary.<\/p>\n

Unclear scope definition: <\/strong><\/p>\n

When the definition of the scope is not clearly defined, a project manager will encounter situations where resources become scarce. Proper breakdown of the project scope is very crucial for a project manager to curb the shortage of resources.<\/p>\n

Changing requirement: <\/strong><\/p>\n

In the present era, it is common for a client to change the requirements of the project when half the project is complete. A project manager must incorporate these changes and make necessary changes in the tasks to be completed as early as possible to avoid going over budget.<\/p>\n

These challenges can be overcome by using the project management triangle. Implementing the iron triangle while carrying out projects helps a project manager to define his constraints clearly before starting to work on a project. This helps professionals to restrict themselves from going overboard in using the three constraints of a project, thereby reducing the risks of increased costs, delay in delivering and over-usage of resources. According to PMI\u2019s annual survey, various organizations have succeeded in completing their projects within the specified time, costs and resources.
