iteratiewe

Iteratiewe is a Dutch term that translates to "iterative" in English. In various fields, including software development, design, and problem-solving, it refers to a process or method that involves repeating a cycle of steps. This cycle typically consists of planning, executing, and evaluating an action. After evaluation, the results are used to refine the next iteration, leading to incremental improvements and advancements.

The core principle behind an iterative approach is to break down complex tasks into smaller, manageable stages. Each stage, or iteration, allows for the development and testing of a portion of the final product or solution. This systematic repetition enables teams to learn from each cycle, adapt to changes, and reduce the risk of significant errors later in the development process. Common examples include agile software development methodologies like Scrum and Kanban, where work is organized into sprints or cycles. In design thinking, iteration is crucial for prototyping and user testing to refine concepts based on feedback. The iterative nature allows for flexibility and continuous improvement, making it a widely adopted strategy for tackling complex challenges.
