	The "Broken Iron Triangle" Software Development Anti-pattern
		Note that refusing to recognize the implications of the iron triangle isn't the only cause of project failure, it just seems that it's one of management's more popular approaches to hamstringing an IT project.
		The iron triangle refers to the concept that of the three critical factors – scope, cost, and time – at least one must vary otherwise the quality of the work suffers.
		Instead of thinking of it as an “iron triangle” you are much better to think of it as an “elastic triangle” and vary the cost, schedule, and/or scope as required.

	Steve Garnett's Blog : Breaking the Iron Triangle: Project Manager v Scrum Master
		Hopefully tolerance levels have been set for each element of the triangle, and if the tolerance level is about to be breached or is broken, the project manager escalates their issues to the project board or steering group.
		Let’s break the iron triangle that is established at the beginning of the project, and instead focus on making the team as efficient and productive as possible.
		This is vastly different in methodology terms, as waterfall PM theory involves specifying a triangle up-front for the entire project and forcing the project to conform to its shape throughout the lifecycle of a project.

		In United States politics, "iron triangle" is a term used by political scientists to describe the policy-making relationship between the legislature, the bureaucracy, and interest groups.
		Central to the concept of an iron triangle is the assumption that bureaucratic agencies, as political entities, seek to create and consolidate their own power base.
		An iron triangle can result in the passing of very narrow, pork-barrel policies that benefit a small segment of the population.

	The Iron Triangle The new military buildup
		One side of the triangle includes the "civilian" agencies that shape U.S. military policy-the Office of the President, the National Security Council, the Senate and House Armed Services Committees, and civilian intelligence agencies like the CIA and NSA.
		At the base of the triangle are the 8S,000 private firms that profit from the military contracting system, and that use their sway over millions of defense workers to push for ever-higher military budgets.
		Many powerful members of the Iron Triangle, who had staked their careers on the old system, could now foresee their marginalization.

	The Iron Triangle - UrbanPlanet.org
		The Iron Triangle, a 13-block area between Shea Stadium and the Flushing River in Queens, is the largest single stretch of junkyards in New York City, with more than 100 auto salvage yards, repair garages and automotive shops.
		But like many business owners in the Iron Triangle, Danny Sambucci Jr., 46, of Sambucci Brothers Auto Salvage, complains that no politician, city official or civic leader has called or visited to brief them on what is going on.
		The triangle is a lapse in proper civic planning, they say, and its demise is long overdue.

	TRAPPED IN THE IRON TRIANGLE... TOTAL CONTROL
		It is three entities of the government in unified intimidation---the arms industry (technicians who make war weapons), the Pentagon (strategists who decide where and how these weapons will be used), and the U.S. Congress (irresponsible congressmen and senators who let the executive branch usurp their authority without a whimper).
		This Iron Triangle forms the power nucleus of our present war and all future wars; of the phenomenal growth of our spying techniques and surveillance capabilities, and of our military power and the many uses we put it to.
		It is this kind of suffocating situation that a government entity like the Iron Triangle helps make possible and is necessary to sustain and propagate it.

	Going to the Mat: The Iron Triangle of Public Schools
		The answer lies in the iron triangle of tradition, apathy, and fear.
		The iron triangle plagues public schools and causes reactionary fear leading to a paralysis of thinking, the thought that if we just throw more money at the problem, or reduce class sizes or do something else, we can save public schools.
		By stepping outside the triangle, public schools can be made better and then compete on the same level as the options they fear—even reasserting their market dominance.

	excerpts from the book The Iron Triangle Inside the Secret World of the Carlyle Group by Dan Briody
		the Carlyle Group is a story of dealings inside "Iron Triangle," the place where the world's mightiest military intersects with high-powered politics and big business.
		It is a company whose history includes ties to CIA cover-ups and secret arms deals, and an astounding trail of corporate cronyism.
		There is every indication that with the current administration, and war remaining on the foreseeable horizon, Carlyle's power and reach may exceed anything Eisenhower might have imagined when he first warned against the formation of an Iron Triangle.
