A control approach for agile processes

Agile processes can provide early defect information on all the stages of the development process. The use of a feedback control model to regulate the process based on this information is proposed here. The model was originally designed to regulate the testing process and has proven to be effective. Additionally, an ODC filter is proposed to properly interconnect the models associated with each development phase. The approach appears to be a reasonable solution for the control and prediction of agile processes.
