Regulatory Process
Adapt to change
The Regulatory Process framework is about adapting to change by tracking relevant metrics and adjusting the process accordingly. It involves setting a desired level of a characteristic or quality, tracking progress, and making adjustments as needed. This framework is inspired by the thermostat, which controls the flow of heat energy into or out of a system based on feedback from a sensor.
- Track relevant metrics to inform decision-making
- Adapt to changing circumstances to maintain optimal performance
- Use feedback loops to adjust the process
- Set the desired level of performanceDetermine the key performance indicators (KPIs) that need to be tracked and set the desired level of performance.Pro tipUse a clear and measurable definition of the desired level of performanceWarningAvoid setting unrealistic or unachievable targets
- Track progress and adjust the processTrack the KPIs and adjust the process as needed to maintain the desired level of performance.Pro tipUse regular feedback sessions to review progress and make adjustmentsWarningAvoid making drastic changes without careful consideration
Using the Regulatory Process in software development
A software development team uses the Regulatory Process to track their progress and adjust their development process as needed.
OutcomeThe team is able to deliver high-quality software on time and adapt to changing requirements
Failing to track relevant metrics
Not tracking the right metrics can lead to poor decision-making and a lack of adaptability
Resisting change
Failing to adapt to changing circumstances can lead to stagnation and poor performance
The concept of regulatory process is inspired by the thermostat and autopilot systems, which adapt to changing conditions to maintain a desired level of performance.
