This brainstorming element normally falls outside of the traditional project management role, but is more prevalent in software projects, when engineers have a free reign to come up with new ideas and then have to see them through.

I believe Agile software development is more than ready to use new forecasting techniques to express uncertainy to narrow their decision-making process. These new forecasting techniques are not based on estimations but historical data, thus saving time on the part of developers to focus on what they do best.
