This appears to derive from Iterative and incremental development

It seems that this recommendation is taken from Iterative and incremental development, which is in opposition to the Waterfall model.

Iterative and incremental development theory refers to software development. In terms of social architecture, this would be an endorsement of Piaget's_theory_of_cognitive_development#Assimilation_and_Accommodation in a collective sense.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 03:26, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

• @Epiphyllumlover: sorry, I don't know how to interpret that. Are you satisfied or dissatisfied, and why? SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 22:25, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for getting back to me. My answer is, "I'm not sure" because I don't have enough information. I drew from it what I could based on my limited background knowledge and ability to look things up. Maybe there is someone at WMF who can confirm or reject the speculation I presented above. In other words, I am especially asking if this really has anything to do with the software development model as I speculate, or where did the concept come from instead if my speculation was wroong.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 00:52, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
