Seems there is still some confusion (intentional or accidental) about the Cone of Uncertainty and its purpose and its use in software development. The domain for the Cone can certainly be product development, but it's origins are for Programs, where a budget, period of performance, and needed capabilities are On Contract.

Shipping on time, to specifications, and within budget might be meaningless if a competitor is shipping software that has a greater value to the market. It's suggested from observations, the Cone of Uncertainty (CoU) is not a valid model of how uncertainty behaves in software development projects. Laird and M.

There is a current rash of suggestions on how to improve the performance of software projects. One case of 12 projects from a large contractor of Software Intensive System (SIS) shows similar variances . I'd suggest the Principles for project success on non-trivial software efforts are universal. Who's Budget is it Anyway?

While Jira has its strengths — particularly for software developers — it may not provide the full range of features, integrations, and automation a modern organization requires. If you’ve ever been part of a software development team, you’ve probably heard of Jira. But the key here is choosing carefully.

Research shows that for projects, especially software projects Aleatory uncertainty is the predominant source of risk. All making things smaller dos is show that you're late, over budget, and what you're building (Technical Performance Measures) doesn't work faster. Stewart, ACTEX Publications, 2006.

This also meant developing software systems to support this effort. Rarely are software engineers working on science experiments. But what it really says is.

Part of the Atlassian Group, Jira originated as bug tracking software for development teams , but has since grown to encompass a number of different products. Since 2017, Trello is also an Atlassian product, so if you’re researching your options for work management software, you might find yourself comparing Wrike vs. Jira vs. Trello.
