Research. We’re researching cures to cancer, nuclear fusion, space flight, etc. with no idea what the total cost of ownership will be.

Software dev can resemble research on a smaller scale. The more interesting or complex your requirements and environment, the closer it resembles research.

The original point of agile was to lean into this fact and get out of planning and predicting. Scrum culture has corrupted this goal.
