Agile methods focus on shorter iterations, in which the software is brought to a releasable level of quality fairly often, usually somewhere between weekly and monthly.
Short iterations provide numerous technical and management benefits.
On the technical side, the main benefit is reduced integration risk because the amount of software being integrated is kept small. Short iterations also help to keep quality under control by driving to a releasable state frequently, which prevents a project from accumulating a large backlog of defect correction work.
On the management side, the frequent iterations provide frequent evidence of progress, which tends to lead to good status visibility, good customer relations, and good team morale.
