Iterative Methodology

Iterative methodology is a software development approach that emphasizes incremental and repetitive progress. It involves breaking down a project into smaller cycles or iterations, each of which results in a functional part of the software. After each iteration, stakeholders can review the work and provide feedback, which is then used to refine and enhance subsequent iterations.

Key principles

Incremental Development: The project is divided into small, manageable parts or iterations. Each iteration adds new functionality or refines existing features;
Feedback and Review: Stakeholders, including users, product owners, and developers, regularly review the work completed in each iteration. Feedback guides further development;
Flexibility: Iterative methodologies are adaptable to changing requirements, allowing adjustments to be made at the end of each iteration based on feedback and evolving project needs;
Continuous Improvement: The goal is to refine and enhance the software with each iteration, making it more functional, reliable, and user-friendly over time.
