Too often we only think of our external customers and forget our internal ones. Yet the internal ones are just as important to the success of the organization - whether it be the project sponsor or the next person in the process.

As a long time project manager the idea of Cost, Quality and Time is always on the minds of project team. It is true that this idea can be over simplified but it works. What I liked best about this podcast is that you keyed in on customer service (Quality). In the project management world it is rare you to hear a project team discuss customer service. Typically quality equates to how good the product/service will work, look, feel, etc. that is being created by the project team. I think project teams need to invert this simple concept a bit. Meaning that they need to think about the quality that they are providing to their customer and focus on the idea of customer service they provide to the sponsor/s of the project they are working on. I am going to go forth and talk about this more about this idea of customer service in my PM seminars and classes I teach. So thank you for teaching the idea of triple constraints and thank you for putting a new twist on it. I would also like to say thank you for helping a regular guy like me out and using the idea of pizza as an example. Na my co-host, on that entertainment show I do on the side, says there is no good Chicago style pizza here in CO (he is a traditional thin crust guy). But he did find a place where we live. This family owned pizza joint is great and pricey. But, that is okay as they serve a really great pizza similar to what Na would find in Chicago. Plus the family that runs the joint is from Chicago.... so I think that helps! Thanks again for using your passion for entertainment and food to express such a great concept. Cheers, 'Q' Mary-Lynn & George,
