Discuss the Characteristics of the Incremental Model with pros-02352

Characteristics of the Incremental Model

1. The system development is bren into many mini development projects
2. Partial systems are successively built to produce a final total system.
3. Highest priority requirements tackled early on.
4. Once an incremented portion is developed, requirements for that increment are frozen.Benefits
5. Working functionality is produced earlier - computation of value to cost ratio
6. Reduces risks of change in user requirements
7. Provides clients flexibility in decision making.
8. Risk management is incremental
9. Smaller scope for change in user requirements
10. Criticism
11. Larger picture cannot be seen until the entire system is built
12. Difficult to break down the total system at early stage of product development to determine reasonable increments
