The primary purpose of software estimation is not to predict a project’s outcome; it is to determine whether a project’s targets are realistic enough to allow the project to be controlled to meet them ? This problem is visually depicted in the “cone of uncertainty” diagram which was initially conceived by Boehm. Steve McConnell.

Why our brain is not built for software engineering. Knowledge work’ refers to tasks that take place mostly in our minds, like predicting scope, setting up plannings, considering consequences of changes to complex systems, working out test cases and estimating complexity. This will affect all estimates and predictions.

The Agile project management methodology has been used by software engineers and IT professionals for the past sixteen years. In the late twenty century, many software engineering researchers in academia were studying the disturbing fact that most software and IT projects finish late or fail to finish at all.

As a software engineer; however, I was able to easily understand MSP, and it did not take me long to create a schedule for my project. Even though I was able to use dive right into using MSP, I think I would have been more productive if someone had given me a bit of initial guidance on the topic.

I've seen estimates abused by bad managers, so let's NOT estimate and that will fix the behavior of Bad Managers." While the human behaviors are real and observable, conjecturing that decisions can be made in the presence of uncertainty without estimating the outcome of those decisions, there is no principle to support that conjecture.
