Using an Incremental Approach

Often, you view a software solution as a whole, comprehensive system. However, you often achieve deployment of the complete system incrementally by taking measured steps.

When adopting an incremental approach, you typically design a road map that provides milestones leading to the ultimate, comprehensive solution. Additionally, you might have to consider short-term plans for aspects of the comprehensive solution that are deferred for later implementation.

The incremental approach provides these advantages:

• You can adapt to requirement changes due to business growth.

• You can leverage the existing infrastructure as you transition to your ultimate deployment implementation.

• You can accommodate capital expenditure requirements.

• You can leverage a small supply of human resources.

• You can allow for partnership possibilities.
