Introducing Kanban for Scrum Teams
Learn how Kanban practices can be integrated into Professional Scrum teams to improve workflow, transparency, and delivery using the new Scrum.org PSK …
Adapting based on evidence, not assumptions, through inspection and transparency.

Empirical Process Control is a foundational concept that emphasises decision-making based on observation and experimentation rather than assumptions. It is integral to Agile, Lean, and DevOps methodologies, enabling teams to adapt their processes and outputs through continuous inspection and transparency. By relying on real data and feedback, organisations can identify what works and what doesn’t, fostering a culture of learning and improvement.
This approach allows teams to deliver value predictably and sustainably, as they can adjust their strategies based on actual performance rather than theoretical models. It encourages a mindset of experimentation, where hypotheses are tested in practice, leading to informed decisions that enhance product quality and customer satisfaction.
Empirical Process Control is not merely a tactical tool; it is a long-term, systemic enabler of organisational agility. It cultivates an environment where teams can respond swiftly to changing conditions, ensuring that they remain aligned with customer needs and market dynamics. This adaptability is crucial in today’s fast-paced development landscape, where the ability to pivot based on evidence can significantly impact success. By embedding empirical practices into their workflows, organisations can achieve a more resilient and responsive operational model that prioritises value delivery and continuous improvement.
