Incremental Architecture in the context of Crystal

Incremental Architecture in Crystal

In the context of Crystal methodology, Incremental Architecture focuses on evolving the software architecture gradually as the project progresses, rather than trying to define the entire architecture upfront.

This approach involves:

  1. Starting with a Basic Architecture: Begin with a simple and flexible architecture that meets the immediate needs of the project.

  2. Iteratively Refining the Architecture: As the project advances and more requirements become clear, continuously refine and enhance the architecture to accommodate new features and address emerging complexities.

  3. Regularly Reviewing and Adapting: Hold periodic architecture reviews where the team can evaluate the current architecture, identify areas for improvement, and make necessary adjustments.

By embracing Incremental Architecture, teams can adapt to changing requirements, avoid over-engineering, and deliver value more rapidly through continuous architectural evolution.
