Iterative Design

UX Design

What is Iterative Design

Iterative Design is a cyclical design methodology where products are continuously developed, tested, and refined. It involves making incremental improvements based on user feedback and testing results, rather than trying to get everything right in a single attempt.

How Iterative Design works

The process follows these repeating phases:

  • Design: Create or modify solutions
  • Test: Evaluate with users
  • Analyze: Review feedback and results
  • Refine: Implement improvements

When to use Iterative Design

Apply this approach when developing new products, improving existing features, or solving complex design challenges. It's particularly valuable when user needs are not fully understood or when working with innovative solutions.

Benefits of Iterative Design

This methodology reduces risk by catching issues early, allows for continuous improvement, adapts to changing user needs, and creates more refined end products. It helps teams learn quickly and make data-driven design decisions.
