Building the database, then the API, then the interface feels orderly. It also means nobody can use anything until the very end.
One workflow, all the way through
A slice is a complete path: a real user, a real action, a real record persisted. It exposes integration problems in week two rather than week twelve.
Feedback compounds
Each shipped slice changes what the next one should be. Teams that ship early make fewer expensive assumptions.
Architecture still matters
Slicing is not an excuse to skip modelling. The data and permission model should be deliberate; the delivery sequence is what changes.
