About this listen

In this thought-provoking episode of the 4PM Podcast, host Mounir Ajam invites listeners to take a fresh look at one of the most well-known yet misunderstood concepts in project management — the Iron Triangle (a.k.a. the Triple Constraints of time, cost, and scope).

Is it a true measure of project success, or have we been using it wrong all along?

🔍 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why the Iron Triangle is a planning and control tool—not a definition of success
  • How the Uruk Framework reshapes our understanding of value, vision, and performance
  • The importance of expanding beyond time, cost, and scope to include product scope, quality standards, HSE, and risks
  • How to balance shifting variables when projects evolve (because they will)
  • A practical example of aligning planning with purpose—and staying resilient in execution

Whether you’re a seasoned PMO leader or new to the field, this episode will challenge your assumptions and give you practical tools to manage projects with purpose and clarity.
