And now, how does the cone of silence intersect with the cone of uncertainty? :) I'd hazard to say, in all seriousness, that the cone of silence is what fosters the traditional development cone of uncertainty - where deliverables and value may in fact NEVER appear, or at the least, be a surprise result at the end of a lengthy "heads down" delivery period on the order of months or more.

So, I found a tool this evening and converted it from a TIFF to a JPG file. Please let me know if this works better for you!

To the point of the topic - I've never formally studied estimation techniques, but must say that from afar, I've always been wary of canned techniques for an inherently unknowable project size and scope. Would love to see more on the estimation side, here...
