Reading List for the Cone of Uncertainty

Herding Cats

The primary purpose of software estimation is not to predict a project’s outcome; it is to determine whether a project’s targets are realistic enough to allow the project to be controlled to meet them ? A Probabilistic Method for Predicting Software Code Growth," Michael Ross, Journal of Cost Analysis and Parametrics 4:127-147, 2011. "10
