(37,584 posts)I work with an academic vice president who uses this word instead of "draft." Excuse, me but what's wrong with "draft?" Well, I'll tell you. This idiot floats half-baked proposals on an entire school that has 14,000 students. Then when it blows up in her face, she revises it. That's an "iteration," as in "that iteration didn't go so well."
IIRC, "iteration" comes from software writing.
Who knows where she picks up these terms.
