Scope VS Resources VS Time

On [#stanier-effective-manager], 11th chapter:

Every project is governed by a balance between scope, resources and time. A manager will have to weight in and manipulate those attributes to be successful in their projects.

Things to consider when thinking about each aspect:

Scope:

• Break it and categorize its items as "must", "should", "could", "won't" (MoSCoW method)
• Define stretch goals

Time:

• Understand the deadlines. Are those hard deadlines? Is there some lee-ways? Can we get away with approximated dates? Adjust your plan according to these answers.

Resources:

• Can we parallelized tasks?
• How can we optimally deploy our developers without them stepping on each other toes? (keep 202105071145 Brook's Law in mind)
• Do we have the necessary expertise already available?

For all three, consider 202105191357 SCRUM focus on knowledge acquision
