Cone of Uncertainty - Part Cinq

Herding Cats

When actual measures of cost, schedule, and technical performance are outside the planned cone of uncertainty, corrective actions must be taken to move those uncertanties inside the cone of uncertanty, if the project is going to meet it's cost, schedule, and technical performance goals. .
