First let us remember that the Agile Movement was born in 2001 in the field of Software Development, at a time when complex and highly ineffective methods and management philosophies were being used to try to deliver software projects. They were collectively called heavy processes, because of the large number of steps they required to get anything done, the Rational Unified Process or RUP is one of them.

Traditionally Project Management has identified three constraints that must be managed to achieve success on any project, namely:
-
Time: or the schedule, to meet deadlines and deliver
-
Money: our available budget, and financial resources
-
Scope: extent of work that has to be performed.
Collectively they are known as the Project Management Triangle, and for decades they have been the focal point for the project manager’s efforts.
