In this paper, there is data that does not follow the Cone of Uncertainty, in that the uncertainty of the estimates does not reduce as the project proceeds. While the data supports some aspects of the cone of uncertainty, it doesn’t support the most common conclusion that uncertainty significantly decreases as the project progresses.

This is a closed loop control system for managing the program with a T echnical Performance Measure (TPM). There can be cost and schedule performance measures as well. As the program progresses each of the weight measurements for each of the models through to a final article is compared to the planned weight.

There are two kinds of uncertainty on all projects, no matter the domain, including software development projects. Facts are the relevant data, information, and knowledge used in the process of assessing the alternatives against the values in order to make the decision. Related articles. Quote of the Day.

This is the paradigm of the Cone of Uncertainty - it's a planned development compliance engineering tool, not an after the fact data collection tool. The Cone is NOT the result of the project's past performance. This is a closed loop control system for managing the program with a T echnical Performance Measure (TPM).

Rarely the case in software development, where Little's Law is misused often. The OP claimed Goodhart's Law was the source of most of the problems with software development. What this says is again when the measure becomes the target, that target impacts the measure, changing the target. .

Drawing Unsupported Conclusions from Incomplete and Inconclusive Data, it is not only natural but also laudable, to seek evidence that confirms something that we hold to be true. In the project domain, an estimate is a calculated approximation of some desired measurement. Related articles. Let's look at what an estimate is.

Although I understand measuring productivity could work well for repeatable activities, it's hard to believe it works well for abstract and, ultimately, non-repeatable tasks like software development. Thus, the common approach to "measure productivity" is to compare the estimates against what, in fact, happened.
