The program management processes should seek to reduce uncertainty in the variable of the project. If there is no process in place to reduce these variables, the probability of project success is reduced. 10 Deadly Sins of Software Estimation , Steve McConnell , Construx, 2002. "A 37–48, 2007.

After having worked for outsourcing, consultancy and product companies I believe that creating a place where people really trust each other is easier when software engineers and stakeholders are both part of the same organization. Similarly, product lifecycle management (PLM) integrates people, data, processes and business systems.

This is called Software Engineering Economics. Estimating Processes in Support of Economic Analysis. Knowing the probabilistic behaviours of all three of these random variables - Value, Time needed to produce the Value, and Cost to produce the Value is required for any decision to be made in the presence of uncertainty.

Economics is a social science concerned chiefly with description and analysis of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. If we look at the discipline of software engineering, we see that the microeconomics branch of economics deals more with the types of decisions we need to make as software engineers or managers.
