There is always lots of complaining about the biases introduced into managing projects and making the estimates needed to make project decisions. And of course, those are biased, filtered are fed back into System One at a later date, creating more bias to the decision-making process in the future. A final Thought . 9, January 2011. [6]

I've seen estimates abused by bad managers, so let's NOT estimate and that will fix the behavior of Bad Managers." This, of course, is a fallacy on all levels. The first thing to do is NOT fall for the fallacy that NOT Estimating will fix the behavior of the bad manager. Let's look at what an estimate is.

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. Of late, Cone of Uncertainty has become the mantra of No Estimates advocates claiming that data is needed BEFORE the Cone is of any use.
