The 5 Hidden Agility Killers Of course, the transformation itself is essential, but there are some factors that can slow it down. And, you know, ultimately the thing that slows software development down is fear of change. Also, review performance measures. Are you measuring output or input? Okay, great.

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. .

Landmark’s measure of success over these three years had much more to do with customer satisfaction and market share than with meeting knowingly aggressive targets. It's suggested from observations, the Cone of Uncertainty (CoU) is not a valid model of how uncertainty behaves in software development projects.

This, of course, is a fallacy on all levels. In the project domain, an estimate is a calculated approximation of some desired measurement. This is the domain of Microeconomics and when applied to software development it is the microeconomics of software development. Of Course Not. .

There a popular notions in the agile development world that authors like Hayek and Taleb speak to how software development works. Let's look at the thesis of Hayek in light of software development and the decisions that must be made when spending other people's money in the presence of uncertainty. Of course not.

This quote is typically the basis of proposing agile software development over traditional software development. But if the development work is a Project is a fixed period of performance, for a fixed (with margin) budget, and a fixed set of Capabilities, then the question is can agile be used to develop the software?
