Iterative development

A seemingly small error in steering direction at origin San Francisco, if not corrected, a ship headed to Hawaii can end up in Japan, with time the distance error keeps getting larger. Similar things can be seen in Software development when monolithic development happens one wrong variable can change the product significantly, so getting timely feedback and incorporating it can act as much-needed offset.

The iterative approach in software development empowers teams to build complex systems incrementally. By breaking down the project into smaller, manageable iterations, developers can deliver working software frequently, gather valuable feedback along the way, and adapt to evolving requirements. This cyclical process of planning, designing, building, testing, and evaluating fosters continuous improvement, reduces risks associated with large, monolithic development cycles, and ultimately leads to a more robust and user-centric product. Each iteration adds tangible value, ensuring the project stays aligned with stakeholder needs and market demands.
