Barry Boehm's work in “Software Engineering Economics”. The Cone is a project management framework describing the uncertainty aspects of estimates (cost and schedule) and other project attributes (cost, schedule, and technical performance parameters). The BLUE bars are the probabilistic ranges of the current estimate date.

The conjecture that we can make decisions in the presence of uncertainty without estimating the impacts of those decisions is without any principles that can be tested beyond personal anecdotes of I know people who spend other peoples money without providing estimates. We need to learn how to predict with credible methods.

Now, the reason I’m telling this sincere report, is because I have seen that there are people who get suddenly certified as an Agile Practitioner within two days or three days of training. You cannot be a master chef or a master cook just by doing a training of two days. Agile has been- they are in software industry primarily.

The backlog is the list of prioritized and estimated user stories. Performing requirements traceability analysis is an important part of software engineering. They are generally going to be reviewed as requested by a governing body, for impact on the in process work. And there aren’t any scope holes developed.
