When requirements and implementations are clearly understood at the project's start

What distinguishes the Prototype Model from the Waterfall model?

Development of a basic working model early in the project

Which type of prototype shows human-machine interaction to understand the level of interaction in the desired software?

Which software development model allows for changes and adjustments at each spiral based on feedback and evolving requirements?

Spiral Model

In the Spiral Model, what is often used in the early spirals to gather user feedback and validate design decisions?

Prototyping

Which software development model divides the development process into multiple iterations or spirals, each focusing on different aspects such as planning and evaluation?

Spiral Model
