Three Things That Matter

Long ago, I heard a profound quote about projects, which went something like this:

There are three things that matter: quality, speed, and price. You can have any two of the three, but not all three. Which do you want?

Quality and speed? OK. It’ll cost more… Quality and a low price? OK — but it’ll take longer. Speed and a low price? Smart business people, IMO, know that this last option is a recipe for disaster.
