Does the Iron Triangle matter with DevOps?

TL;DR

Traditional project management lenses still matter when considering the delivery of modern IT services. What needs to change is how you use them.

What’s the Iron Triangle

• Scope
• Schedule
• Budget

• Quality
  I consider Quality a Scope conversation rather than a discretely managed consideration

Short Answer, Yes

The trade off between the three corners of the Iron Triangle still exist if you’re using Agile/DevOps tooling and practices.

Scope - the commit, the pull request, the sprint commitment, defintion of done, … Schedule - the morning, the day, the sprint, … Budget - team labor, infrastructure/cloud resources, software licenses, …
