This model relies on prototyping and rapid cycles of iterative development to speed up development and elicit early feedback from business users
Planning: The prototyping needs and limitations are identified and agreed upon by developers, designers, IT, and engineers.
Design: Initial prototyping and modeling is done after multiple iterations. Feedback from user experiences helps in designing the overall architecture of the application.
Development: The basic coding, testing, and integration to backend services are done in this phase. Enhancements can be made based on requirements.
Release: The development team moves the components from a testing environment to production. The application is deployed and ready to be used!
The benefits of Rapid Application Development Software Model have a direct bearing on the cost and schedule of enterprise application delivery.
