Videreutviklet

Videreutviklet is a Norwegian adjective meaning "further developed" or "more advanced." It is used to describe something that has undergone additional development beyond its initial form, such as software, hardware, processes, or ideas.

The word is a compound of videre (further) and utviklet (developed), from the verb utvikle. As a past participle used as an adjective, videreutviklet typically appears before the noun it modifies or predicatively: "et videreutviklet system" or "systemet er videreutviklet."

In practice, videreutviklet is common in technical, business, and research discourse to indicate iterative improvements following a first release or version, often in the context of agile development, product roadmaps, or research projects. It implies not only improvement but ongoing refinement toward higher functionality, efficiency, or robustness. It should not be confused with "oppdatert" (updated), which may refer to updates rather than deeper development; "forbedret" emphasizes improvement but not necessarily a new development stage.

Related terms include videreutvikling (the act of further development) and videreutviklet versjon (a further-developed version). The term is predominantly used in Norwegian, especially in technical and professional contexts. Similar concepts exist in other Scandinavian languages, but exact forms differ. In translation to English, videreutviklet is commonly rendered as "further-developed" or "more advanced."
