An iterative approach in development of the student information system: Lessons learned

Abstract

Iterative and incremental development (IID) is a staple of multiple software development methods, including Spiral development, Unified process and Agile development. However, a number of papers warn of possible pitfalls in application of this approach in examples of real-life development project. In this paper we will describe an (in our opinion) successful application of IID to a software project which is in everyday use and which has so far proven useful. In addition, we will attempt to draw some conclusions that may be of use for further research on software development methodology.
