Incremental Development involves creating a product in small, successive steps, with each step building on the previous one and adding to the product's functionality.
This approach allows teams to deliver value to stakeholders frequently and gather feedback early and often.
Each increment should have a clear goal, e.g. sprint goal, attached to it, articulating the value outcome on release to the end user. Therefore each increment should deliver a workable solution that can be consumed by users in a production setting.
An outcome based roadmap and associated release plan helps to visualise the sequence and impact of each increment, ensuring alignment with the team and stakeholders.
🔑 Key Benefits / Why is this important
Frequent feedback from end users which provides early validation that the users’s needs are being met
Reduced risk of effort expended on features that may not deliver
Flexibility to quickly adapt to end user feedback or changes in their needs
Increased speed to value. Value is only realised once the service enhancements or new features are in the hands on end users
🛠 Complementary techniques practices and frameworks
