Good cheap fast (fast good cheap, etc.) is a popular design principle, typically expressed as:
You can have it good, you can have it cheap, you can have it fast: pick two."
Some authors (including this one) prefer "pick one".
The principle is similar to the project management triangle: a model of the constraints of project management which asserts:
- The quality of work is constrained by the project's budget, deadlines and scope (features).
- The project manager can trade between constraints.
- Changes in one constraint necessitate changes in others to compensate or quality will suffer.
