TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Nancy Allison asks: <<What is that documentation trilogy that people
refer to, and then say, "You can have two of the three?">>
Project managers refer to a more formal version of this as the "Iron
Triangle": Scope (or Quality), Schedule, and Cost. The point, of course,
is that a change to any of the three necessarily creates a change in one
or both of the others in the same direction--negative for negative,
positive for positive (like THAT ever happens!).
I like the term because "Iron" gets across the concept of "unbreakable."
Regards,
Jim
