Evolution
Model
Definition: The evolutionary model is an iterative and incremental
approach to software development that emphasizes adaptability and
evolution over fixed planning.
Key Characteristics:
Iterative development cycles.
Incremental feature enhancements.
Emphasis on customer feedback.
Flexible and adaptable to changing requirements.
Purpose: To accommodate changing requirements and optimize software
development processes.
Slide 2: Evolutionary Model -
Overview
• Phases:
• Requirements gathering and analysis.
• Design and development.
• Testing and evaluation.
• Each phase is iterative and may overlap with others.
• Evolutionary approach allows for continuous refinement and improvement.

Slide 3: Example - Agile
Development
Agile methodologies, such as Scrum and Kanban, are examples of the
evolutionary model.
Scrum involves short development cycles called sprints, where a
working product increment is delivered at the end of each sprint.
Kanban focuses on visualizing workflow and limiting work in progress,
allowing for continuous delivery.
Slide 4: Requirements Gathering and
Analysis
Initial requirements are gathered and analyzed.
Basic functionality is identified and prioritized.
Stakeholder feedback is crucial for refining requirements over time.
Slide 5: Example - Minimum Viable
Product (MVP)
• In an evolutionary model, development often starts with building a Minimum Viable
Product (MVP).
• An MVP contains the essential features required to address the core needs of users.
• Additional features are added based on feedback and evolving requirements.
