This problem is visually depicted in the “cone of uncertainty” diagram which was initially conceived by Boehm. The cone says the effort estimate determined in earlier phases of the project, such as the definition of the initial concepts, might differ up to four times from the final one. 1, January 2011.

Root Cause is the fundamental initiating cause on a causal chain leading to a failure of a process which results in a recurrence of the problem. The causal chain of Actions and Conditions must be traced back to the initiating root cause. What Are Problem Causes of Software Projects? The outcome is not likely the root cause.
