An Increment is a small, measurable unit of progress in software development or testing. Each increment adds new features, functionality, or value to the system being developed or tested.
Key Characteristics:
- Delivering specific enhancements or fixes.
- Being completed within a defined timeframe.
- Allowing for regular assessment of progress.
- Supporting iterative development approaches.
Increments help teams manage complexity by breaking down larger tasks into manageable parts. This approach facilitates continuous improvement and adaptation based on feedback.
