How to ESTIMATE the UNKNOWN

As a team leader, contractor, manager, and/or a developer you are often required to estimate (indeed foretell into) what is often the UNKNOWN and in some cases your job is on the line if you get it consistently wrong.

So stepping into the unknown is actually familiar to us all... AND we all know the importance of CERTAINTY because when we are required to move towards UNcertainty in a TASK, in a DECISION, in a NEXT STEP - we literally stop cold if we believe there is a bigger chance of failure OR that we become UNAttractive..

So TO WHAT EXTENT is having a solid method for estimating uncertainty before stepping into the unknown with some certainty IMPORTANT or do you prefer to always jump and hope for the best?
