Another major project related happening was the growing popularity of value engineering (VE), which was widely used at General Electric. This functioned to help measure the value of alternatives (for example, using cheaper resources and/or materials to reduce project costs or design-to-cost) especially when there was a scarcity of resources.

Let's start with a critical understanding of the purpose of managing risk on software development projects. Information about key project cost, (technical) performance and schedule attributes is often uncertain or unknown until late in the program.

All that line says is this was the baseline estimate at Completion for the project work. Then the chart shows that many projects cost more or take long (costing more) in the sample population of projects. . The answers should be YES to these Five Immutable Principles of Project Success. Just the estimate.

The overarching theme is focused on defining what Done looks like, assessing progress toward Done in units of measure meaningful to the decision makers. Managing projects in the presence of uncertainty means making decisions about cost, schedule, and technical performance all risk-adjusted , from the uncertainties that create risk.
