Project management terminology can be complicated. It doesn’t matter whether you’re working towards your PMP certification or simply managing projects casually in your organization, knowing core project management terms always helps. All Project Management Terms. All work is divided into short bursts called "sprints".

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. Traditional project management approaches, several of which are based on a strong belief in the cone of uncertainty, advocate stronger project control and greater planning. Then there is some analysis.

This ignores the principles of predictive analytics, and the direct management actions taken to produce outcomes from those analytical models found everywhere from project management to grocery store management and the model-based systems engineering. In ISO 15288 this is the role of the Risk Management Processes.

We cannot escape these two uncertainties - reducible and irreducible - and must learn how to manage in the presence of these uncertainties. Is each of these measures being met for the planned cost at the planned time? . Abstracted from [3].
