Empiricism is the idea that knowledge comes from experience and observation rather than theory or speculation. Agile teams use an empirical process control approach to manage their work, which involves increasing transparency about the actual state of the environment and progress. Teams regularly inspect and adapt their processes based on feedback and observations.
By utilising data and Metrics to guide decision-making and measure progress, Agile teams can respond more effectively to changes and new information. This empirical approach ensures that decisions are based on real-world evidence and experiences, allowing teams to make informed adjustments and continuously improve their processes and outcomes.
