What is Ship Often?

 , updated on
Ship often is an approach to product development that pushes products and services out the door as quickly as possible. If quality is lacking, the product is offered as a beta or test version. A feedback loop is established that allows customer feedback to drive improvements that are released as quickly as possible.

Shipping products early and updating them frequently in order to improve them rapidly.
