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.

Can All This Formality Have Any Use in Modern Software Development? For any non-trivial project, we have a planned release date for the needed Capabilities, for a needed budget. Why Guessing is not Estimating and Estimating is not Guessing. The ConOps is the place to start identifying those needed Capabilities. .

The Cone is a project management framework describing the uncertainty aspects of estimates (cost and schedule) and other project attributes (cost, schedule, and technical performance parameters). The BLUE bars are the probabilistic ranges of the current estimate date.

Here's another trail being ridden by our son at Nationals in 2013. The notion of Control is missed used in software development projects. They have to be estimated in the start. A quick estimate is needed to decide what to do. Estimating on projects is part of the close loop control system. Good question.
