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.

This method is the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP was developed in the 1970s by Dr. Thomas Saaty. AHP has been studied, refined, and applied for over 40 years to be an effective approach to complex group decision making. [7]. In our agile software development world, AHP is rarely found.

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. Scrum is used by software development teams.

Survival bias happens when failures are ignored when you are evaluating if a process or decision is the right one (Schermer, 2014). HR departments can conclude that their recruitment process is working well because it is producing suitable candidates. How many candidates did the process miss that would’ve been more suitable?

Economics is the study of how people make decisions in resource-limited situations. Economics has two basis branches: Macroeconomics is the study of how people make decisions in resource-limited situations on a national or global scale. This uncertainty is modeled as a stochastic process of an inherently random physical model.

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.
