Uncertainty is related to three aspects of the management of projects: The external world - the activities of the project itself. The naturally occurring work effort in the development of a software feature - even if we've built the feature before - is an irreducible uncertainty. One starting point is the value at risk.

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. IT Risk Management.

The planned uncertainty not only needs to decrease over time passing, but this reduction diminishes any impacts of risk on the decision-making processes. Seems there is still some confusion (intentional or accidental) about the Cone of Uncertainty and its purpose and its use in software development.

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. In that case, the competitor will win nearly every time, and the prize for “good” project management might be losing market share. If not, that's another issue.
