This SDLC works by assuming that not all the requirements are specified at the beginning stages of development and it therefore works closely with users for feedback and satisfies the user’s requirement while the system is operational.
Advantages
• Users can try the system and provide constructive feedback during development
• An operational prototype can be produced in weeks
• As solutions emerge, users become more positive about the process and the result
• Prototyping enables early detection of errors and omissions
Disadvantages
• Each iteration builds on the previous. The final solution might be only incrementally better than the initial solution
• Formal end-of-phase reviews might not occur, it is very difficult to contain the scope of the prototype, and the project never seems to end
• Excessive development time of the prototype. Figure 6 Evolutionary Prototyping Diagram
