Increment

A working, tested, and formally accepted deliverable that represents a portion of the total project result.

Key Points

  • Must be functional and usable on its own or with previously completed parts.
  • Verified through quality control/testing and formally accepted against defined acceptance criteria.
  • Represents a discrete slice of scope that integrates with earlier increments to build the final outcome.
  • Typically delivered at a phase, milestone, or iteration to provide value early and reduce risk.

Example

In a payroll system project, the tax calculation module that has been coded, tested, integrated, and signed off by the sponsor is an increment. It is a functional, approved portion of the final system.

PMP Example Question

  3. A set of rough order of magnitude estimates for future work
  4. A proof-of-concept prototype that has not been validated

Correct Answer: B — A working, tested, and accepted part of the final product

Explanation: An increment is a functional deliverable that has been verified and formally accepted, representing a subset of the overall project outcome.
