What are the three basic objectives of project management

The project objectives are basically manifested in three aspects, namely, time, cost and technical performance (or quality standards).

The purpose of implementing the project is to make full use of the existing resources, so that the project can achieve the expected technical achievements within a certain period of time and on a certain budget basis. However, there are often conflicts between these three goals.

When the three basic goals of the project conflict, the successful project manager will take appropriate measures to weigh and optimize. Of course, the conflict of project objectives is not limited to the three basic objectives, and sometimes there will be coordination problems between the overall project objective systems, which need to be weighed and selected by project managers according to the priority order of objectives.
