   For the same project, the range of uncertainty about the total estimate decreases over time, as illustrated in the cone of uncertainty diagram. High-quality cost estimates can be produced by following a rigor of 12 steps [17] outlined by the U.S. GAO. Detailed documentation is recommended to accompany the estimate. “The documentation ...

   Critical chain project management is based on methods and algorithms derived from Theory of Constraints. The idea of CCPM was introduced in 1997 in Eliyahu M. Goldratt's book, Critical Chain . The application of CCPM has been credited with achieving projects 10% to 50% faster and/or cheaper than the traditional methods (i.e., CPM, PERT, Gantt ...
