There is always lots of complaining about the biases introduced into managing projects and making the estimates needed to make project decisions. What are the measures of physical percent complete needed to inform the decision makers of progress to plan in order to take corrective or preventive actions to stay on plan?

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). There can be cost and schedule performance measures as well.

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). Estimates are needed but are subject to large level of uncertainty.

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.

It is wrong to suppose that if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it – a costly myth. This is used in support of the fallacy that estimates aren't needed to make decisions in the presence of uncertanty. Technical Performance Measures. Why Guessing is not Estimating and Estimating is not Guessing.

This always takes us back the coupling and cohesion discussion all of us who were Software Engineers in the 1980's . In the presence of uncertainty, estimates is needed to make decisions. There is no way out of this for any non-trivial software development project. This information comes from the Paul G.

All making things smaller dos is show that you're late, over budget, and what you're building (Technical Performance Measures) doesn't work faster. So here are some books, handbooks, and guides that sit on my shelf that are used pretty much all the time on the Software Intensive System of Systems we work on. No References?
