Barry Boehm's work in “Software Engineering Economics”. Here's another example of the Cone of Uncertainty, in this case, the uncertainty is the temperature of an oven being designed by an engineering team. The UCL and LCL are defined BEFORE the project starts. 1] Systems Engineering Measurement Primer, INCOSE. [2]
