Incremental Model - tugosera/tralalero-tralala GitHub Wiki

---

• Definition: Product is built and delivered in increments (partial systems), each adding functionality.

• Approach: Build part of the system → Deliver → Build next part → Deliver, etc.

• Focus: Delivery of complete features step by step.

• User Feedback: After each increment.

• Example: First increment = login module, second = dashboard, third = reports.

Pros:

• Early delivery of working software.

• Easier testing and debugging.

• Lower initial delivery time.

Cons:

• Requires detailed planning.

• Integration issues may occur.

• Scope creep risk if not managed.

---

• Definition: The system is developed in iterations, each refining the previous one.

• Approach: Build → Test → Evaluate → Improve, repeat until final product.

• Focus: Refinement and improvement.

• User Feedback: After every iteration.

• Example: First version = basic functionality, next iterations enhance features and fix issues.

Pros:

• Continuous improvement.

• Early risk handling.

• Allows feedback-driven changes.

Cons:

• Requires more management.

• Risk of endless iterations.

• Not ideal for small projects.
