For any closed loop control system ‒ let’s assume we want to manage our project with such a system ‒ has a signal representing the current state of the system. For a software project, let’s start by answering a critical question – how long are you willing to wait before you find out you’re late ? https://goo.gl/DP6Jw https://goo.gl/DP6Jw

In most of the software development, this notion is missing - hence the quote that What is divided from How. In Earned Value Management paradigm, progress is always measured as physical percent complete. Have a threshold or objective value, Characterize major drivers of Performance, Are consider Critical to Customer.

The Cone of Uncertainty is a framing assumption used to model the needed reduction in some parameter of interest in domains ranging from software development to hurricane forecasting.

We need to know the Upper Control Limits (UCL) and Lower Control Limit (LCL) of the ranges of all the variables that will impact the success of our project. With this paradigm we have logically connected project management processes with Control System processesIf the variances, created by uncertainty going outside the UCL and LCL.

We can estimate the total cost, total duration, and the probability that all the Features will be delivered on the program we are working for the US Government. Or ANY software project for that matter. In the project domain, an estimate is a calculated approximation of some desired measurement. First a definition.

Agile software development is framed by a manifesto , a set of 12 principles, several methods. These are all focused on developing software, delivering that software to those paying the developers. Anything less results in systems not worth having or fail to function or perform. [3],

There a popular notions in the agile development world that authors like Hayek and Taleb speak to how software development works. Let's look at the thesis of Hayek in light of software development and the decisions that must be made when spending other people's money in the presence of uncertainty. What is a Team?

This quote is typically the basis of proposing agile software development over traditional software development. But if the development work is a Project is a fixed period of performance, for a fixed (with margin) budget, and a fixed set of Capabilities, then the question is can agile be used to develop the software?

We always want to minimize the number of interfaces between modules, minimize the complexity of each interface, and control the type of info flow. In general, modules tightly coupled if they use shared variables or if they exchange control info. There is no way out of this for any non-trivial software development project.
