For example - Purchasing a car. Power, Build Quality, Price - pick any two. You can get a powerful car at a cheap price - but it's won't be a quality vehicle. A Powerful, well built car - won't be cheap. A high quality build car, that's cheap - won't be very powerful. All these are true because in the end something has to give!

(Strictly speaking Scope is more about feature set than quality, but quality comes into it.) It’s a lot like the Project Management Triangle: Time vs. Budget vs. Scope.
