In most of the software development, this notion is missing - hence the quote that What is divided from How. In Earned Value Management paradigm, progress is always measured as physical percent complete. The MOE's belong to the End User - this is the what part of the development project.

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. The Cone of Uncertainty as a Technical Performance Measure.

The Cone is a project management framework describing the uncertainty aspects of estimates (cost and schedule) and other project attributes (cost, schedule, and technical performance parameters). Here are some examples of Planned variances and managing of the actual variances to make sure the project stays on plan.

In a previous post, Why Johnny Can't Estimate , mentioned some resources for estimating, the principles of business and technical management that demand estimates be made to make decisions, and background on the sources of uncertainty, that create risk, that require estimating to increase the probability of project success.

If, for example, a project manager believes a member of his or her team is a fast and effective worker, each time that team member works fast and effectively or is told by a colleague about the work that has been done fast and effectively, the project manager will consider his or her belief to be well-founded.

The paper on the Cone of Uncertainty is used by many in the No Estimates community as an example of why estimates are of little use. In this paper, there is data that does not follow the Cone of Uncertainty, in that the uncertainty of the estimates does not reduce as the project proceeds. Then there is some analysis.

The Cone is a project management framework describing the uncertainty aspects of estimates (cost and schedule) and other project attributes (cost, schedule, and technical performance parameters). Estimates are needed but are subject to large level of uncertainty. There can be cost and schedule performance measures as well.

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. I came to AHP through a seminar by Dr. James T. And of course.
