Risk Management is How Adults Manage Projects - Tim Lister. Since all risk comes from uncertainty - reducible (Epistemic) and irreducible (Aleatory), estimating is a foundation of all we do. In our domain of engineered systems there is a broad range of problems, complex issues, approaches to solving problems.

What happens if you shift focus from "accurate estimation" to "reliably shipping by a date"? . If your project has no uncertainty, there is no need to estimate. The naturally occurring work effort in the development of a software feature - even if we've built the feature before - is an irreducible uncertainty.
