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). The Cone is NOT the result of the project's past performance. There can be cost and schedule performance measures as well.

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. The Cone is NOT the result of the project's past performance.

For scenarios where the project under consideration does not yet exist, performance prediction using analytical modeling or simulation is necessary. These performance measures, along with other factors impacting project performance can all be modeled [2]. This is the basis of Earned Value Management.

The uncertainty is always there, it doesn't go away with specific actions in specific domains, or with the use of any tools, processes, or practices. This includes the Measures of Effectiveness (MoE), Measures of Performance (MoP), Key Performance Parameters (KPP), and Technical Performance Measures (TPM) of the deliverables.

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.

All making things smaller dos is show that you're late, over budget, and what you're building (Technical Performance Measures) doesn't work faster. So here are some books, handbooks, and guides that sit on my shelf that are used pretty much all the time on the Software Intensive System of Systems we work on. No References?

One of the tools we use to model the system is Design Structure Matrix. In the presence of uncertainty, estimates is needed to make decisions. There is no way out of this for any non-trivial software development project. Allen School of Computer Science Software Engineering Course . The key word here is System.
