Seems there is still some confusion (intentional or accidental) about the Cone of Uncertainty and its purpose and its use in software development. And if the competitor is shipping software with greater value, how does the Cone impact that? 37-48, 2007. 37-48, 2007. Thesis, University of Southern California, August 2012.

I joined the team as a QAA engineer in 2010, the first employee in this role. Together, we have developed a unique quality control system for Wrike, our lovely project management platform, allowing us to deploy product code to production more quickly and without bugs. A year later, in 2013, they succeeded again. Hello, everyone!

Shipping on time, to specifications, and within budget might be meaningless if a competitor is shipping software that has a greater value to the market. It's suggested from observations, the Cone of Uncertainty (CoU) is not a valid model of how uncertainty behaves in software development projects. Wallshein, Ph.D. Laird and M.
