In a rapidly changing business environment, using iterative life cycles involving stakeholders is a practical approach. This enables the team to obtain continuous feedback and refine the product through successive prototypes. This ensures that the stakeholders' needs are consistently met as the project progresses and adapts to any changes.
Iterative (agile) life cycles are composed of several iterations, which repeat one or more of the phases before proceeding to the next one. Iterative approaches can only proceed when user feedback is available to be used as the basis for initiating new cycles of development, refinement and improvement.
