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. .

AHP was developed in the 1970s by Dr. Thomas Saaty. In our agile software development world, AHP is rarely found. Using this method, the performance, cost, time, and risks of alternatives can be articulated as ratios that can then be compared with one another. And of course. References . [1]

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.

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. This approach uses past performance to predict future performance.

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. .

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?
