4. The final project design is not known in great detail and is continuously
developed through a series of incremental iterations over time
Iterations are short time frames (“time boxes”) that typically last from one to
four weeks
The goal of each iteration is to develop a workable product that satisfies one or
more desired product features to demonstrate to the customer and other key
stakeholders
At the end of each iteration, review progress and re-evaluate priorities
to ensure alignment with customer needs and company goals
Adjustments are made and a different iterative cycle begins

6. Iterative development processes provide the following important advantages:
Continuous integration, verification, and validation of the evolving product
Frequent demonstration of progress to increase the likelihood that the end product
will satisfy customer needs
Early detection of defects and problems
