Thank you for the answer, I also believe evolutionary processes are the most successful. But are there any useful quantitative measures for "tuning a process" or is it based entirely on "feel" of the developers and stakeholders?

@GarrettHall It's less "feel" and more about observation. As the project progresses, you review the process frequently to identify causes for inefficiency. If the team notes that missing information causes delays, find out why the information isn't available and fix it. If the team has a lot of long meetings, either streamline the meetings, or remove them altogether. If customer interferes with development, manage the relationship with the customer. If tasks take too long to complete, break the tasks down. If something is difficult to make more efficient however, you may need to experiment.
