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. This is course is NOT the correct use of the Cone. This extended post covers.

Activity: A distinct, identifiable portion of work done during the course of a project. Each 'activity' is the smallest unit of work that can be performed within the scope of the project. Actual dates are different from planned or estimated dates. Action Item: An activity that must be completed for the project to move forward.

The Cone is a project management framework describing the uncertainty aspects of estimates or any other project attribute (in this post, cost, schedule, and technical performance parameters). Either the team itself, the Project or Program Manager, or on larger programs the Risk Management owner. . Of Course We Can!

For risks that are beyond the vision of the project team a properly implemented risk management process can also rapidly quantify the risks impact and provide sound plans for mitigating its effect. Hoping that the project will proceed as planned is naïve at best and poor management at worse. Hope is Not a Strategy.

It's the Planning and Controls processes working together with the Technical Development processes that provide the ability to forecast what should happen in the future if we keep going like we are going now using a Model of the possible future outcomes. Past performance data or the Model of the needed Future performance of the project?

This makes no sense for any development project beyond a de minimis project. It can be used to identify appropriate teams, work groups, and a sequence of how the tasks can be arranged. The component may be performing more than one function. In the presence of uncertainty, estimates is needed to make decisions.
