I think the PERT chart is pretty accurate. The issue is typically predicting what all of the nodes on graph will be ends up being a waste of time. Instead, there are really just two points: current state and desired state. It is better to spend time clearly articulating the desired state so that everyone really understands it. Then incentivize people to get there as quickly as possible.

I think our perspectives differ slightly, as I really don't care to micromanage adults that know better. Notably, the fixed cost of development is far less of a concern than long-term deployment, support, and maintenance costs.

Probably a ROWE would be a similar modern equivalent...
