There’s a project management saying that goes Fast, Cheap, or Good, pick two. It’s referred to as the project management triangle, but I don’t think it is a triangle as much as it is an equation. The good or the quality of something is a result of the effort and cost. Now there may be cases where people are ok with a lower quality, but in most cases there is a certain level of quality that must be delivered. The base equation then is Time x Cost = Quality. If you decrease cost or time you are going to most likely negatively affect the quality.
