Incremental prioritization using an iterative model for smallscale systems

Abstract

To improve customer satisfaction during the requirement engineering process and create higher consistency in the developed software, there is a growing trend toward the development and delivery of software in an incremental manner. This paper introduces a novel approach to prioritizing the initial development of core subsystems. This prioritization ensures that the most critical subsystems, which contribute significantly to the project’s overall success, are addressed first. Our method involves employing an incremental model with iterative modeling, where each subsystem is assigned a profitability score ranging from 1 to 10. The iterative model is then utilized to identify the most suitable subsystem for the next development stage. The results of our study indicate that utilizing the total profit weight in conjunction with the iterative model effectively identifies the central subsystem of the entire project. This approach proves to be the optimal starting point for development, helping streamline the process and contribute to a more efficient software delivery strategy.
