Let's say you're the project or program manager of a large complex system. We cannot escape these two uncertainties - reducible and irreducible - and must learn how to manage in the presence of these uncertainties. This knowledge can be used to assess and re-estimate the effort required to complete the project.

The paper on the Cone of Uncertainty is used by many in the No Estimates community as an example of why estimates are of little use. In this paper, there is data that does not follow the Cone of Uncertainty, in that the uncertainty of the estimates does not reduce as the project proceeds. Then there is some analysis.
