What happens if you shift focus from "accurate estimation" to "reliably shipping by a date"? . If your project has no uncertainty, there is no need to estimate. All estimates have precision and accuracy. Deciding how much precision and accuracy is needed for a credible estimate is critical to the success of that decision.

Seems there is still some confusion (intentional or accidental) about the Cone of Uncertainty and its purpose and its use in software development. Some feel that the cone does not provide any value for the work they do and does not match the reducing uncertainty in their estimates. This letter states.

Traditional development processes no longer cut it — IT teams must adopt dynamic ways to maintain current infrastructures while improving their workflows and systems to address changing market demands. Bimodal IT is a concept that was first introduced by leading global IT research firm Gartner in 2014. So, what is bimodal IT?

Uses tools and/or techniques that best describe the proposed system from the user's perspective and how it should operate. Produced with graphics and pictorial tools as much as possible, since a CONOPS should be understandable to different types of stakeholders. Can All This Formality Have Any Use in Modern Software Development?

Estimation is part of project management. . The most important estimates for the project manager are related to time and cost. . Since it is easier to estimate small tasks, these estimates are often calculated and performed as point estimates, for example, a task will take 3 days.

So here are some books, handbooks, and guides that sit on my shelf that are used pretty much all the time on the Software Intensive System of Systems we work on. But when some statement is made about risk, estimating, performance modeling, or the like - always ask for references. I'm not expecting anyone to read all these books.
