What Went Right?
Analysis:
Based on what happened by the Standish Group there is a good management in the organization that is why the percentage of success doubled and the percentage of failure is halved due time because of some new techniques acquired by the organization in order to improve the projects.

The triple constraint are specific goals in order manage the scope, time and cost to meet a target. 3. What is project management?
