RAD (Rapid Application Development)

Rapid Application Development (RAD) is a software development approach focused on quickly creating and refining applications through repeated feedback and iterative cycles. Instead of building the entire system first, developers develop prototypes or parts of the software early on, then gather user feedback to improve it continuously. This method emphasizes speed, flexibility, and collaboration, allowing teams to adapt to changing needs and deliver functional software faster than traditional methods. RAD is especially useful when time is limited or requirements may evolve during the development process.
