Edmondson (2012) argues that dynamic teaming is important to share and encourage learning. This is also what inspired Edmondson (2012) in her academic work on “teaming”. Even a single change in team membership can disrupt that process, and consequently, make it harder for teams to become high-performing sooner.

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 ? The program management processes should seek to reduce uncertainty in the variable of the project. Steve McConnell.

Estimating is a learned skill, used for any purpose from every-day life to management of projects. The same process for estimating is applied to multi-billion dollar projects we work. And the same process is applied to the Scrum development processes on those projects. . Springer International Publishing, 2016.

This quote demonstrates a lack of understanding of making decisions in the presence of uncertainty and the processes and events that create uncertainty. There is naturally occurring variability from uncontrolled processes. The risk is created when we have not accounted for this natural variances in our management plan for the project.

The planned uncertainty not only needs to decrease over time passing, but this reduction diminishes any impacts of risk on the decision-making processes. Seems there is still some confusion (intentional or accidental) about the Cone of Uncertainty and its purpose and its use in software development.

Traditional project management approaches, several of which are based on a strong belief in the cone of uncertainty, advocate stronger project control and greater planning. In that case, the competitor will win nearly every time, and the prize for “good” project management might be losing market share. If not, that's another issue.
