Accuracy - how close is the estimate to the actual value? So in the end, if we are to make a decision in the presence of uncertainty, we MUST make estimates to develop a reliable shipping date while producing an accurate and precise estimate of the cost, schedule, and technical performance of the product shipped on that date.
