Decision Making On Software Development Projects

Herding Cats

Decision Making on Software Development Projects Is Both Simple and Complex at the Same Time. Irreducible risk requires estimating the statistical distribution of the naturally occurring processes. Oberkampf, in Proceedings from the Advanced Simulation & Computing Workshop , Albuquerque, NM, USA, 2005. 91–94, 1996.

Resources for Cone of Uncertainty

Herding Cats

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. This letter states.

Cone of Uncertainty - Part Cinq

Herding Cats

The Measure that is modeled in the Cone the variable is the Quantitative basis of a control process that establishes the goal for the performance measure. 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.
