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. 37-48, 2007.

It's suggested from observations, the Cone of Uncertainty (CoU) is not a valid model of how uncertainty behaves in software development projects.

This quote demonstrates a lack of understanding of making decisions in the presence of uncertainty and the processes and events that create uncertainty. There is naturally occurring variability from uncontrolled processes. The risk is created when we have not accounted for this natural variances in our management plan for the project.

The uncertainty is always there, it doesn't go away with specific actions in specific domains, or with the use of any tools, processes, or practices. The paradigm of using past performance to update the estimates and risks to the project fits into a paradigm of the Cone of Uncertainty. We need a formal risk management process.

As we will see below, current scientific models for team formation underscore the need for time and frequent interaction to allow teams to develop the tissue that makes them high-performing. Even a single change in team membership can disrupt that process, and consequently, make it harder for teams to become high-performing sooner.
