BEmpirical Process Control model helps make decisions based on a particular input that will always provide
a specific output.

iii. Release Planning Schedule
2. Meetings
i. Sprint Review Meetings
ii. Daily Standup Meetings
3. Information Radiators

I’m a bit confused; I thought Empirical Process Control was more about having clear inputs and outputs, but that doesn't seem to fit with the Scrum principles.

I remember that Empirical Process Control is all about making decisions based on what we observe, but I'm not sure if it's just about experimentation or if planning plays a role too.
