Incremental prototype - kubapeter/portfolio GitHub Wiki

If a software product is developed using continuous delivery, valuable versions of the software are produced in short iterations. Such valuable version is an incremental prototype if it has the most important features of the prioritized feature list. Later versions will include more features from this list.

The incremental prototype is very similar to the evolutionary prototype. The main difference is that the incremental prototype may not have many of the features originally planned. In fact, the first-generation incremental prototype may only have “must do” features and nothing else. On the other hand the features an incremental prototype has may be the final or almost final version of the feature. A feature of an evolutionary prototype may need several major upgrades to obtain its final form.
