Prioritize the Triple Constraint

There are many ways to approach the planning stage of a project. To start with, you will have to have a very clear idea as to how the Triple Constraint is prioritized in the project you are working on. What is the client asking for? Does the client insist on the project be completed and tested by a certain date, are they insisting that the project have certain functions and content above all else or are they demanding that work be successfully completed within the specified budget? The answers to these questions tell you what is the priority and they will influence the way in which you plan your project. If you find that you do not have the answers to these questions, you will need to present them to the client.
