Any (company/individual) Project Manager cannot execute a project to meet three goals at once like “High speed-Low cost-Best Quality”!
Any comments?

I think these are the tree ‘buttons’ a project manager (or any higher level manager) can push to achieve the results in his IT projects. Usually, pushing one button leads to something on the other button. If we want to deliver a software project faster, then we can push the ‘speed’ button by engaging more programmers. This will lead to higher costs. If we push ‘speed’ without adding resources, the quality will suffer. If we push the quality button, programmers will spend more time on envisioning, building and testing something, which will reduce the speed and may incur higher costs. This last thing is often not true as more time spent on creating a piece of code usually leads to higher quality and lower costs; it saves testing or re-building things that were built wrongly, later in the process.
