1.2: Intro to Iteration

Send us Fan Mail

While we may think of the Waterfall as the original way to make software, the philosophy of moving fast and making small changes -- called iterative and incremental development -- dates back just as far. Today we're tracking how IID got its start in classic early 20th century manufacturing and evolved through pioneering NASA projects into an important precursor of how we work today. Plus, we'll cover the first rise and fall of the "cross-functional team" at the US Navy and at a long-gone giant of the early computer industry.
