The Iron Triangle
Scope, time and cost as an elastic triangle: pull a corner, set pins and test customer requests as change requests. If nothing gives way, quality shrinks.

Project management Experience it live.
Planning and steering projects: the iron triangle, stakeholders, network diagrams, earned value, schedule risk, team size, Kanban and waterfall against Scrum.

Stakeholder Map
Ten stakeholders of project Lumen on the power-interest map: events shift the picture, a communication plan spreads six hours of attention per week across the project phases.
ProjektmanagementTry it
Live Network Diagram
Forward and backward pass run as a wave through the network of project Lumen, in sync with the Gantt chart. Change durations and see when float runs out and the critical path jumps.
ProjektmanagementTry it
Earned Value Cockpit
The Lumen project runs week by week: plan, actual cost and earned value grow as curves, SPI, CPI and the forecast respond at once. Progress rules reveal the gap behind "90 percent done".

Schedule Risk: 1,000 Project Runs
Monte Carlo simulation of a network diagram: each run lands as a particle on its end date. Histogram, S-curve, P50/P85, merge gate and criticality index show how safe the trade-fair date is.

More People, Finished Later
The team as a living network of portraits: channels grow with n(n−1)/2 and new people tie up experienced colleagues as mentors. The app shows the U shape of the end date and the dip in output after a late addition (Brooks's law).

Waterfall or Agile?
The same customer portal runs twice: as a waterfall in phases and as Scrum in sprints, week by week. Event cards (new feature, change, cancellation) drop into both lanes in the same week; misunderstandings stay face down until a review or the acceptance test reveals them. Rework appears hatched, and the curves show cumulative benefit and cost up to week 40. Switches for uncertainty, sprint length, feedback and partial deliveries separate the two effects: less rework and earlier benefit.

WIP Limit and Lead Time
A Kanban board with analysis, development and testing, day by day: cards with number and start day move across the board, people (1/3/1) work on the oldest cards, and a queue forms in front of the testing bottleneck. The WIP limit (none down to 2) is a pull rule with a gauge, next to a cumulative flow diagram with measuring lines. Without a limit throughput 0.5 and a lead time of 26 days; with limit 5 still 0.5, but 10 days. Little's Law, plus a switch to let developers help with testing.
