What is the project Triangle, its importance, and how does the components relate to each other for a project?  Explain how an increase in scope will impact the triangle? 

Expert Solution
Step 1 - Introduction

A project can never just consist of a single component, constraint, or factor. It always has three fundamental elements named scope, cost, and time. These three elements together form a project triangle and the reason to call it a project triangle is that each of the three elements is interrelated to each other which together form a project as well impact it. So it can be said that the success or failure of the project is dependent on these three elements.
