These new forecasting techniques are not based on estimations but historical data, thus saving time on the part of developers to focus on what they do best. When I have a Agile planning/forecasting conversation at work, I’ve fallen back more than once on the Agile planning onion proposed by Mike Cohn back in 2009.

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 ? The difficulty of accurate size estimation is compounded especially at the time of inception when very little information is available.

What happens if you shift focus from "accurate estimation" to "reliably shipping by a date"? . If your project has no uncertainty, there is no need to estimate. All estimates have precision and accuracy. Deciding how much precision and accuracy is needed for a credible estimate is critical to the success of that decision.

Soon after construction started in 2007, delays and cost overruns started to accumulate.
