Overview: Projects are like a tube of toothpaste. When we squeeze on the duration corner of a project by lopping a month off the duration, the toothpaste oozes out one of the other corners. When we cut the duration, the project will either achieve less, cost more or have a higher risk of failure. Problems come when two of the corners are hidden from view because PMs quantify only a project's budget and duration but not the level of the business-relevant achievement or the level of risk.
