Evidence-Based Management (EBMgt™)• Roots in the medical practice.• The application of direct, objective evidence* by

managers to make decisions.• For software development, EBMgt is employed to

maximize the value of software to the entire organization.

A Matter of Managerial Culture

Evidence, broadly construed, is anything presented in support of an assertion:• Direct Evidence is the strongest type of evidence. It provides direct proof

of the validity of the assertion.• Circumstantial evidence is the weakest type of evidence. It is merely

consistent with the assertion, but doesn’t rule out contradictory assertions.

• Evidence of the effectiveness of teams and practices is circumstantial evidence.

• Diagnosing organizational patterns helps analyzing direct evidence.

Circumstantial Evidence Is Supportive, Not Direct
