The process of discipline is complex. This is because a process considers myriad different hard and soft factors that impact development. Many software developers argue that processes restrict their creativity. Far from that, processes enable creativity with value. This is because processes ensure the effort made by architects, designers, developers, and testers will be well directed toward the commonly agreed goals (business objectives) of a project.
Processes also facilitate measures and metrics that indicate individual and team productivity and quality. Metrics and measurements in software projects also enable the assignment of responsibilities and accountabilities. To develop a good product, we need a good development method. One very popular agile framework for this is iterations and increments.
In this iterative and incremental approach, no deliverable is produced in a single attempt. Instead, at least three iterations (repetitions) are undertaken before producing a deliverable. This is followed by incrementally adding another package, which would have its own three or more iterations. The three terms iteration, incremental, and parallel are further discussed next.
