Software Project Estimation Methods

Is there a crystal ball to software development cycle and project estimation method? How do you know that you are providing/working with realistic time and cost model in software development. After soo much research and development in software estimation methodology by the industry, why software projects fail? I found this great article and it is worth reading.

I like the views of Steve McConnell who is CEO and chief software engineer at Construx Software, but you're more likely to recognize his name as the author of Code Complete. His interview with CIO highlights the factors that he stresses upon and are in line with what I have seen in several projects.

I am going to continue my research in this area.
