The naturally occurring work effort in the development of a software feature - even if we've built the feature before - is an irreducible uncertainty. The risk is created when we have not accounted for this natural variances in our management plan for the project. An aleatory risk is expressed as a relation to a value.

It’s too easy to study a plan – especially one you have created – and see the risks as variances to the plan. Always be Listening.
