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. Aleatory uncertainty is expressed as a process variability. First, let's establish a principle.

Johns Hopkins University's Whiting School of Engineering provides an approach to making the decision about what's in the ConOps and its format based on some Systems Engineering analysis of criteria: Program risks - reducible and irreducible uncertainties that create these risks. Market considerations - who's going to buy this?

This ignores the principles of predictive analytics, and the direct management actions taken to produce outcomes from those analytical models found everywhere from project management to grocery store management and the model-based systems engineering. In ISO 15288 this is the role of the Risk Management Processes.

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. 37-48, 2007.

Have you ever seen a chef send a dish out without tasting it several times at every stage of the process? Agile is most popular in the software industry, but it has found homes in the information technology, engineering, product development, and marketing industries to name a few. Disgusting. How effective is Agile?

There's been a rash of conjectures about all kinds of bad business, project, and software development (agile and traditional) management ideas of late. With what appears to be NO understanding of how to estimate, this author ignores the processes used in developing products or services in the presence of uncertainty.

So start here to build your academic foundation, that can be put to work to build a foundation of validated experience of making estimates in the presence of uncertainty and protect yourself from fallacious claims that estimates are a waste, not needed, and produce bad resulting in the decision making process for those paying you to produce value.
