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 program management processes should seek to reduce uncertainty in the variable of the project. Steve McConnell. 37–48, 2007.

This quote demonstrates a lack of understanding of making decisions in the presence of uncertainty and the processes and events that create uncertainty. There is naturally occurring variability from uncontrolled processes. Aleatory uncertainty is expressed as a process variability. First, let's establish a principle.

So we first worked together, I guess it was probably back in like late 2009, 2010. Talk to me about some of the challenges that you had taking it straight from a software development perspective. I wasn’t actually trying to help anybody get better at software development per se, or product management per se.

The Measure that is modeled in the Cone the variable is the Quantitative basis of a control process that establishes the goal for the performance measure. With this paradigm we have logically connected project management processes with Control System processesIf the variances, created by uncertainty going outside the UCL and LCL.

The Measures that are modeled in the Cone of Uncertainty are the Quantitative basis of a control process that establishes the goal for the performance measures. Again this is simple statistical process control, using feedback to take corrective actions to control future outcomes - feedforward. Resources. [1] Air Force. [4]

So start here to build your academic foundation, that can be put to work to build a foundation of validated experience of making estimates in the presence of uncertainty and protect yourself from fallacious claims that estimates are a waste, not needed, and produce bad resulting in the decision making process for those paying you to produce value.

The same process for estimating is applied to multi-billion dollar projects we work. And the same process is applied to the Scrum development processes on those projects. . Here's some materials that provide the tools and processes needed to learn how to estimate. The Future of Systems-and Software Development.
