Topic 2.1 - Empiricism
Empiricism
● Empiricism is based on taking decisions based on the concrete information obtained from the observation that shows the progress of product development, market changes and customer feedback
● Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is observed
● An empirical process is implemented in which progress is based on observation and experimentation rather than detail
● The opposite of empiricism is to use pre-planning, defined processes, predictive plans, non-concrete facts
Empirical Process Control
Empirical Process Control has the following characteristics:
● Learn as we go
● Wait and accept change
● Inspect and adapt using short development cycles
● Estimates are indicative only and may not be accurate
Scrum combines four formal events for inspection and adaptation.
These events work because they implement the empirical Scrum pillars of transparency, inspection, and adaptation.
