 WHAT IS SPIRAL MODEL?
 Spiral model is an incremental risk oriented life cycle model that has four
main phases.
 Combination of iterative development process model and linear development
model (i.e waterfall model)

When to use Spiral Model?

 When the project is large
 When releases are required to be frequent
 When risk and cost evaluation is important
 When requirement are unclear and complex
 When changes may require at any time
 For medium to high risk project
PHASES
 PLANNING

RISK ANALYSIS
In the risk analysis phase, a process is undertaken to identify risk and alternate
solutions. A prototype is produced at the end of the risk analysis phase. If any
risk is found during the risk analysis then alternate solutions are suggested and
implemented.
DESIGN
 EVALUATION
• This phase allows evaluating the output of the project to date before the project
continues to the next spiral.

• Spiral Model is called meta-model because it uses

both Waterfall and Prototype models. But it’s highly important to understand
that Spiral Model is not just a sequence of waterfall increments. Not at all.

• In fact, this model is pretty flexible. You should remember that the diagram
we’ve talked about earlier contains some oversimplifications. It may seem that
everything on the project follows a single spiral sequence while it’s not. Real life
project life cycle is more agile and flexible than this simple representation.
There’s even a possibility to revisit the previous decision.
 PROS AND CONS

PROS CONS

Risk Handling Complex

Good for large projects Expensive

Flexibility in Requirements Difficulty in time management

Customer Satisfaction Documentation is more as it has

intermediate phases
