Definition

Uncertainty is a crucial aspect that requires constant management in Agile Projects. Since Agile involved empirical processes( aka “the need to know”), there is a requirement of understanding how to adapt the process to unknown quantities.

  • Technology Uncertainty:  Dealing with the level of understanding of technological solutions to the problem
