Quality, time, and cost are the three legs supporting the metaphorical stool of project management and that’s what Sam Rodell Architects AIA live by. Good project managers constantly work to maximize the outcome for a project in each of these three realms. The most difficult aspect of this nonstop challenge is that each of these priorities compete for dominance over the other two. Quality is surely easier to maintain if we relax our concern about schedule or budget; costs can be reduced dramatically if we let go of worries about quality or schedule; a schedule is easier to hold if either cost or quality are not issues.
