Cone of Uncertainty - Part Deux

Herding Cats

Barry Boehm's work in “Software Engineering Economics”. The Cone is a project management framework describing the uncertainty aspects of estimates or any other project attribute (in this post, cost, schedule, and technical performance parameters). This is due to many reasons, one is levels of uncertainty early in the project.
