Review approach based on empirical evidence
Evidence-based assessment (EBA) refers to the application of research and theory in selecting constructs for a specific assessment purpose, as well as informing the methods and measures used in the assessment process.
This approach recognizes that, despite data from psychometrically robust measures, the assessment process inherently involves iterative decision-making.
Clinicians formulate and test hypotheses by integrating often incomplete and inconsistent data.
EBA has been shown to aid clinicians in reducing cognitive biases in their clinical decisions.
Evidence-based assessment is a component of the broader movement towards evidence-based practices.
Software estimation based on data collection and analysis
Evidence-based scheduling is a software estimation approach created by Joel Spolsky, a commentator on software engineering principles.
Evidence-based Scheduling is based on at least two core ideas: including all time spent, and using a Monte Carlo completion date prediction method.
Evidence-based scheduling is an example of an evidence-based practice.
