The Cone of Uncertainty is a framing assumption used to model the needed reduction in some parameter of interest in domains ranging from software development to hurricane forecasting. The Cone of Uncertainty as a Technical Performance Measure. The Cone of Uncertainty as a Technical Performance Measure.

Budget : The sum total of all the money allocated for a project. Budget at Completion (BAC): BAC is the sum total of all budgets established for the work to be performed. Budget Cost: The cost of the project estimated at the start of the project. Note that the budget cost is not the same as the budget.

This is a recurring theme of #NoEstimates it's a waste to me the developer, I'd rather be coding , I'm not good at estimating , I see no value in my making estimating when you're just going to use them against me when I'm late and over budget. Root Cause: Productivity is the efficacy of the investment of time, talent, and money.

This is an immutable principle that impacts planning, execution, performance measures, decision making, risk, budgeting, and overall business and technical management of the project and the business funding the project no matter the domain, context, technology or any methods. Four sample causes are shown below. .

Here's a simple definition of the Cone of Uncertainty: . The Measure that is modeled in the Cone the variable is the Quantitative basis of a control process that establishes the goal for the performance measure. This is a closed loop control system for managing the program with a T echnical Performance Measure (TPM).

Here's a simple definition of the Cone of Uncertainty: . The Cone of Uncertainty describes the evolution of the measure of uncertainty during a project. The Measures that are modeled in the Cone of Uncertainty are the Quantitative basis of a control process that establishes the goal for the performance measures.

In the project domain, an estimate is a calculated approximation of some desired measurement. This is usually a cost, a completion date, a performance measure used in a closed loop control system to keep the project GREEN while delivering the needed Capabilities to produce the Value for the customer at the needed time for the needed cost.

For approaches that have been implemented on existing systems, obtaining such understanding may require measurement and analysis. For scenarios where the project under consideration does not yet exist, performance prediction using analytical modeling or simulation is necessary. Let's start with a definition.
