A Best Practice is defined as a technique, method, process, activity, incentive or reward that is more effective at delivering a particular outcome than any other technique, method, process, etc. The idea is that with proper processes, checks, and testing, a desired outcome can be delivered with fewer problems and unforeseen complications. Best Practices can also be defined as the most efficient (least amount of effort) and effective way (yields the best results) of accomplishing a task, based on repeatable procedures that have proven themselves over time for large numbers of people.
