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 ? The program management processes should seek to reduce uncertainty in the variable of the project. Steve McConnell. 37–48, 2007.
