Misunderstanding Making Decisions in the Presence of Uncertainty

Herding Cats

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.

Barry Boehm's work in “Software Engineering Economics”. The planned value, the upper and lower control limits, the measures of actual values form a Close Loop Control System - a measurement based feedback process to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the project management processes by [1]. Prentice-Hall, 1981.

Cone of Uncertainty - Part Cinq (Updated)

Herding Cats

Barry Boehm's work in “Software Engineering Economics”. This is the basis of Closed Loop Project Control Estimates of the needed reduction of uncertanty, estimates of the possisble reduction of uncertainty, and estimates of the effectiveness of these reduction efforts are the basis of the Close Loop Project Control System.

It just closed the loop faster. So here are some books, handbooks, and guides that sit on my shelf that are used pretty much all the time on the Software Intensive System of Systems we work on.
