| Empirical Process Control |
Empirical Process Control expects unpredictable, while defined process control
expects that every piece of work is fully understood in advance.
What Is Defined Process Control?
Defined process
is a process with a well-defined set of control steps. When we are in a
relatively less volatile environment which can easily be predicted; Looking at
the same input, a defined process should produce the same output each time on
its repetition and the nature of the prediction. The defined process has the
following characteristics:
- General and control
- Plan what you expect to happen
- Sometimes implement the plan regardless of the status of the change
- Use change control because change is expensive
What Is Empirical Process Control?
In the empirical process control, you expect unexpected. In
Scrum Empirical Process Control with
defined process control, every methodology of work is well understood. In the
Scrum, an empirical process is implemented where progress is based on
observation and experimentation rather than detailed, advance plans and defined
processes. Using Empirical Process
Control is working in a fact-based, experience-based and evidence-based
approach, which is controlled through inspection, optimization. Empirical Process has the following characteristics:
- We know as progress
- Expectation and embrace change
- Inspect and optimize using small growth cycles
- Estimates are only signs and cannot be accurate
