Reading List for the Cone of Uncertainty

Herding Cats

The Cone of Uncertainty is a useful approach to defining the expected range of uncertainty at specific stages in a project. 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 ?

Resources for Cone of Uncertainty

Herding Cats

Seems there is still some confusion (intentional or accidental) about the Cone of Uncertainty and its purpose and its use in software development. First, the Cone of Uncertainty is a Principle used to define the needed reduction in the variances of estimates on Programs. 37-48, 2007. Accurate Estimates Without Local Data?”
