Logical incrementalism is a strategy for developing complex systems in a step-by-step manner. It was first proposed by Barry Boehm in his 1981 book, Software Engineering Economics.
The key difference between agile and logical incrementalism is that each increment in logical incrementalism builds upon the previous one, whereas agile focuses on delivering value in each sprint/iteration.
While logical incrementalism can be applied to any complex system, it is particularly well-suited for software development.
What is logical incrementalism?
Logical incrementalism is an approach to decision-making that encourages smaller steps and decisions that are based on the immediate situation. This method combines pragmatic and functional elements of traditional analytical processes with processes that recognize and manage the power shifts of strategic change. Businesses benefit from logical incrementalism by being more practical, responsive to complexity, able to adapt quickly, and better equipped to handle the complexities of a changing environment. Logical incrementalism is a mindset that embraces scientific methods and is suitable for dealing with issues where there is great uncertainty. By adopting this approach, businesses can be more successful in their strategic decision-making.
