The primary purpose of software estimation is not to predict a project’s outcome; it is to determine whether a project’s targets are realistic enough to allow the project to be controlled to meet them ? A Probabilistic Method for Predicting Software Code Growth," Michael Ross, Journal of Cost Analysis and Parametrics 4:127-147, 2011. "10

Seems there is still some confusion (intentional or accidental) about the Cone of Uncertainty and its purpose and its use in software development. The chief critic of the cone has data collected from his projects that develop Products. From his article in an IEEE magazine often quoted by No Estimates advocates. .

A while ago, I received an interesting scientific article from Gunther Verheyen titled “Getting Things Done: The Science Behind Stress-Free Productivity” (Heylighen & Vidal, 2007). The article discusses possible scientific explanations for the success of a personal productivity approach called “ Getting Things Done ” (GTD; Allen, 2001).
