What's da Best

idea posted by !manpreet $ingh Management Trainee, PageTraffic

This is quite difficult to sort out .. and also depends on the length n complexity of the project... Both factors are inversly propotional to each other...and in long run it may goin to affect the productivity factor among employees, if forced more towards...thnx

I would say costomer satisfaction should be the top priority for any project

and given a choice b/w time and money then i'll go with time

if you are completing in short span of time it will automatically sve the money and if your project is good enough so you will earn lots of money.

In the long run money loses its value hence one should value time more than money. !!

Quality as most of the time is affecting "Money" part.1)  For example suppose one decides to Travel from Mumbai To Delhi, he/she can go by train or Airplane. Here there is direct fight between "Time" & "Money" 2) When the same person decides to travel by Train A/C class rather than ordinary class Or decides to travel by Airplane by Business Class rather than Economy class then the issue of "Quality" comes.

The point is even if we say Quality rules but it again leads us to think between Time & Money only !!

Zero-sum game

idea posted by Ahmed Sultan, ITC Airline Consultant

Both factors are equally important. They can be combined together through optimal work productivity plan.
We are talking here about an “incomplete” quality-speed-cost triangle. However, I will assume that the same level of quality will be maintained with the two options originally proposed by the poster. The three elements of the triangle are balanced under the rule of the zero-sum game.
The rule implies that any increase in one element will result in a corresponding “equal” decrease in another element (or the other TWO elements) in such a way to reach the balance again.
