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.

Have you ever seen a chef send a dish out without tasting it several times at every stage of the process? According to the Project Management Institute, agile processes initially slow a team down because of the learning curve. Scrum is used by software development teams. Disgusting.

As we will see below, current scientific models for team formation underscore the need for time and frequent interaction to allow teams to develop the tissue that makes them high-performing. Even a single change in team membership can disrupt that process, and consequently, make it harder for teams to become high-performing sooner.

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. Now, so that type of a process and an approach, building that into your organization, I think is a bit of a science, right?

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.
