Cone Of Uncertainty In Agile

This article describes the cone of uncertainty in Agile.

What Is The Cone Of Uncertainty?

The Cone of Uncertainty in Agile is a concept that represents the idea that uncertainty about a project outcome is highest at the beginning and decreases as the project progresses and more information becomes available.

Early Stages Are Most Uncertain

At the start of a project, knowledge about requirements, risks, technology, and the solution's overall scope is limited. Estimates made during this phase can be inaccurate.

Progress Reduces Uncertainty

As the team works iteratively and incrementally, they gather feedback, clarify requirements, and validate assumptions. This process reduces variability in both the understanding of the product and the effort required.

Impact On Decision-Making

The Cone of Uncertainty highlights the need to make decisions based on evolving information rather than relying on fixed, early-stage assumptions.
