Often people leave undiscussed the impact of budget cuts and trimming estimates on the level and probability of reaching project success. Imagine the tradeoffs between these 4 corners: SCOPE, COST, DURATION and RISK. A manager will/should always see a project as investment so RISK is definitely important and it varies according to the other 3 parameters.

Hi Andrew,

The Toyota Development System has been documented in a few places I can think of, but one very handy resource is Michael Kennedy’s Product Development for the Lean Enterprise.
