Gap can also exist for performance improvement expectations such as: Reduction in risk by a certain percentage, cost, or time. Improvement in estimating accuracy by a certain percentage or dollar value. As an example, the aerospace division of a Fortune 500 company benchmarked against their competitors.

The origins of this paper came about at a recent JSCC meeting here in Boulder, with local Aerospace contractors, the DCMA (Defense Contract Management Agency) and several government agencies (NRO and NASA). And to make those risk-informed decisions in the presence of reducible and irreducible uncertainty we need to ESTIMATE.

Unrealistic performance expectations missing Measures of Effectiveness and Measures of Performance. Unrealistic Cost and Schedule estimates based on inadequate risk adjusted growth models. Before diving into the details of these, let me address another issue that has come up around project success and estimates.

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. All project work operates in the presence of uncertainty.

The Vice President of Project Management Capabilities at an aerospace company urges project managers to be intentional. The business case estimates the projects costs and benefits. The completion date was moved out to incorporate the realistic estimates. As Peter Drucker said, What gets measured gets done.
