    Very interesting - thank you. As a developer, I've always struggled with the desire managers have for one figure so separating forecasts and targets makes total sense. Focus on value is also critical - all large projects should be forced to answer one question before starting.........if this project ends up costing 3 or 4 times the original estimate, is it still worth doing? If not, stop.
