System Development and Design Processes

The primary purpose of using prototypes is to demonstrate the proposed system to the client for feedback and validation.

Iteration contributes by allowing repeated refinement and improvements based on feedback, resulting in solutions that better meet user needs.

Iteration is defined as a procedure in which repetition of a sequence of operations yields results successively closer to a desired result.
