Concepts
Iterative Development
A way of building products through repeated cycles of improvement.
Plain English explanation
Iterative development means building something, learning from it, and improving it step by step. Each cycle is a chance to learn.
Why it matters
It helps teams learn quickly and improve continuously instead of trying to get everything perfect the first time.
How it works
Each iteration builds on the previous one, adding improvements and learning from feedback.
Example
A team releases a basic version of a feature, then improves it based on user feedback over several Sprints.
Common myths
Iteration is not rework. It is a structured way of improving over time.
