Underestimating software engineering costs could result in management approving proposed systems that potentially exceed budget allocations, or underdeveloped functions with poor quality, or a failure to complete a project on time. Managing in the presence of uncertainty requires a Closed Loop Control process. No Estimates?

My early metrics book, Controlling Software Projects: Management, Measurement, and Estimation (Prentice Hall/Yourdon Press, 1982) , played a role in the way many budding software engineers quantified work and planned their projects. […] The book’s most quoted line is its first sentence: “You can’t control what you can’t measure.”

We can estimate the total cost, total duration, and the probability that all the Features will be delivered on the program we are working for the US Government. Or ANY software project for that matter. The presence of optimism bias, attribution errors , and the illusion of control are the main sources of these biases.
