Project Triangle: ERP Migration Trade-off Management
Used the Project Triangle to manage an ERP migration with a fixed go-live date, holding scope firm on core modules and flexing cost via contractors to protect the timeline. Every trade-off was documented for the steering committee.

Result
The ERP migration had a hard go-live date driven by a vendor contract end. The Project Triangle made the trade-off explicit: time was fixed, scope was fixed on core modules (purchasing, warehousing, BOM revision control), and cost flexed via additional contractors.
When a vendor delay threatened scope, the triangle forced the question: add cost (overtime, vendor acceleration) or cut scope (defer the vendor portal). The decision was documented, so the steering committee could audit why scope was cut. The triangle produced a log of every trade-off, so future programs inherited realistic constraints.
