A software development methodology that breaks the development process into small, manageable chunks. Each chunk, or increment, builds upon the previous one, resulting in a fully functional product at the end.
1. Staged Delivery ModelIt's like building a puzzle, you start by completing one piece at a time and delivering it to the client, then you move on to the next piece until the puzzle is complete.
2. Parallel Development ModelIt's like working on multiple art projects at the same time, each team focuses on one aspect of the project and works simultaneously with the goal of finishing faster.
There are four main phases in the Incremental Model. Each increment goes through these phases, building upon the work done in previous increments. Let's explore these phases ->
1. Requirement Phase This involves gathering functional & non-functional requirements from clients about the project's needs and preferences before moving on to the next phase.
2. Design & Development PhaseIt involves creating rough design & adding details to it based on project's needs and preferences, and then following coding standards established to develop clean and efficient code.
