So BIG question. Actually the most challenge software development addresses.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep

The issues with Cost & schedule overruns are typically handled better by Project Mangement methodologies like PMI. You could (ought to) be using a Project Mangement methodology along with the software developent methodology.

By adjusting the release plan according to experienced development velocity and by making highly visible the impact of changing requirements on cost and schedule, for example.
