Question:

Project management rests on 3 pillars, Scope (specifications), Time and Cost (see below), combing to impact the quality of the finished project. The project managers of the Phoenix payroll system seemed focused primarily on cost. In order to keep costs on budget, the project managers adjusted other pillars to the detriment of the overall project, leading to the disaster that was the Phoenix payroll system.

Identify and describe 3 instances where the project managers, with a focus on cost, made adjustments to one of the other pillars (you can use the same pillar more than once), which led to compromising the quality of the project. In each instance, identify the pillar the managers adjusted, the specific actions they took in that instance and how this negatively impacted the functionality of the Phoenix payroll system.
