Get started

Run your first iteration

The fastest way to learn Itera is to ship something small.

  1. From the left sidebar, click your project, then click New Iteration in the top right.
  2. You'll see a screen titled What are we building today? Describe the change you want to make in plain language. One line is fine.
  3. Hit submit. Itera creates the iteration and starts the Product phase.
  4. Answer the product questions Itera asks. These narrow down what exactly you want to build.
  5. Optionally, click Generate Prototype to see your change running on a live preview of your product. Iterate on it through the chat until it looks right.
  6. Click the action button to move to the Engineering phase. Reassign to an engineer (or keep it yourself).
  7. Answer technical questions, approve the implementation plan, then send each PR to your coding agent to build.
  8. When the PRs merge, the iteration is marked Built.

That's the whole loop. Everything else in these docs is detail on how to do each step well.
