Study Notes
The Spiral Model
- The spiral model, created by Barry Boehm, offers a flexible approach to software development that emphasizes risk analysis, iterative development, and continuous evaluation and feedback.
- The spiral model consists of distinct phases:
Planning
- Defines project objectives, constraints, and possible alternatives.
Risk Analysis
- Identifies and assesses potential project risks.
Development
- Involves incremental development of the product through iterations.
Evaluation
- Reviews progress and reassesses risks in each iteration.
