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. Closed Loop Control, has a goal, an action, a measurement, and a corrective action.

MARCH 11, 2018

If we look at the discipline of software engineering, we see that the microeconomics branch of economics deals more with the types of decisions we need to make as software engineers or managers. Software engineering economics." IEEE Transactions of Software Engineering, 1 (1984): 4-21.

JANUARY 22, 2017

Barry Boehm's work in “Software Engineering Economics”. 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.

This is an immutable principle that impacts planning, execution, performance measures, decision making, risk, budgeting, and overall business and technical management of the project and the business funding the project no matter the domain, context, technology or any methods. Let's start with Mr. Bliss's chart.

It lists the usual suspects for why those spending the money think they don't have to estimate how much they plan to spend when they'll be done producing the value they've been assigned to produce for that expenditure. When might we finish with the planned work? What might it cost to finish the planned work?

In the project domain, an estimate is a calculated approximation of some desired measurement. This is usually a cost, a completion date, a performance measure used in a closed loop control system to keep the project GREEN while delivering the needed Capabilities to produce the Value for the customer at the needed time for the needed cost.
