    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.
