An iterative approach is a way to build something that involves making prototypes, testing them, and making changes until the desired result is reached. It is often used to make software, but it can be used for any project or process that needs to keep getting better.
In an iterative approach, the team creating the product or process makes a small, working prototype and tests it with a group of users or stakeholders. The team makes changes based on what they say and makes a new prototype to test again. This process is done over and over again until the desired result is reached.
The iterative method makes it possible to be flexible and adapt to changing needs or feedback from stakeholders. It also makes it possible to make small steps forward and keep getting better, which can lead to a better end result. Also, because problems can be found early on in the development process, the iterative method can reduce the chance of failure or the need for expensive rework.
But the iterative approach can also take a lot of time and use up a lot of resources. It may also need a lot of working together and talking between team members and other important people.
Overall, the iterative approach can be a useful tool for getting to a desired result by improving and refining things over and over again.
