Abstract: An example method for gathering a plurality of data sets for a particular process is provided. Each data set indicates transitions between different stages for a corresponding occurrence of the particular process. The method includes generating stage transition data based on the plurality of data sets. The stage transition data indicates an aggregate value for each distinct transition. The method includes determining a root stage based on the plurality of data sets. The method includes selecting each additional stage in the pipeline of stages. Each additional stage is sequentially selected based on a dynamically determined path constructed to reduce a value of a cost function. The method includes selectively modifying the pipeline of stages responsive to detecting an improvement to the value of the cost function. The method also includes generating a command to perform the particular process using the modified pipeline of stages.
