Incremental Approach

In project management, an incremental technique is a way to deliver a project by breaking it up into smaller, more doable pieces, or stages. Each step builds on the one before it, and each increase adds more features, functions, or value to the end product.

In software development, the incremental method is often used. Each increment is a piece of working software that can be tried and reviewed before going on to the next increment. But this method can also be used for other kinds of projects.

Using a step-by-step method to handle a job has the following benefits:

Early release of value: With each step, the project team can deliver a working piece of the project that has some value for the customer or other partners.

Flexibility: The gradual method makes it possible to make changes as the project goes along, based on feedback from partners or changes in what needs to be done.

Early discovery of problems: Since the project is broken up into smaller pieces, problems can be found and fixed early on, before they become bigger problems.

Better involvement with stakeholders: Stakeholders can give comments on each step, which can make them more interested in the project and happier with it.

Risk management: The project team can lower the general risk of the project by providing smaller pieces at a time.

But the gradual method can also have some problems, like making things more complicated and giving managers more work to do. Also, it might not be a good choice for jobs with tight deadlines or budgets.
