The planned uncertainty not only needs to decrease over time passing, but this reduction diminishes any impacts of risk on the decision-making processes. Seems there is still some confusion (intentional or accidental) about the Cone of Uncertainty and its purpose and its use in software development. 37-48, 2007.

Aleatory uncertainty, which is the naturally occurring yields variances in the underlying processes. Epistemic uncertainty comes from probabilistic processes that can be addressed with handling responses. The idea of risk and its management and handling is a critical success factor for all software development.

Much of the conversation in social media around agile techniques seems to be based on the differences between the variety of choices of a method, a process, or a practice and definitions of terms for those choices.

The uncertainty is always there, it doesn't go away with specific actions in specific domains, or with the use of any tools, processes, or practices. If they are not reducing, then the project is headed for trouble, the and management processes of the project has failed to performance its job. . Steve McConnell's Cone of Uncertainty.

We have gone an extra mile to illustrate various real life use cases and examples where waterfall is implemented, and how one can use nTask to further simplify that process – so on and so forth. It follows a sequential, linear process which is why it is often described as a “linear-sequential life cycle model”. Dr. Winston W.

So start here to build your academic foundation, that can be put to work to build a foundation of validated experience of making estimates in the presence of uncertainty and protect yourself from fallacious claims that estimates are a waste, not needed, and produce bad resulting in the decision making process for those paying you to produce value.
