    - The spiral model combines the idea of iterative development with the systematic, controlled aspects of the waterfall model.

    - Spiral model is a combination of iterative development process model and sequential linear development model i.e. waterfall model with very high emphasis on risk analysis.

    - It allows for incremental releases of the product, or incremental refinement through each iteration around the spiral.

    Spiral Model design

    - The spiral model has four phases. A software project repeatedly passes through these phases in iterations called Spirals.

    1. Identification
    - In this phase gathering the business requirements in the baseline spiral.
    - As the product matures in the subsequent spirals the identification of system requirements, subsystem requirements and unit requirements takes place in this phase.
    - It also includes understanding the system requirements by continuous communication between the customer and the system analyst.
    - Towards the end of spiral the product is deployed in the identified market.

    2. Design
    - This phase starts with the concept design in the baseline spiral and it involves architectural design, logical design of modules, physical product design and final design in the subsequent spirals.

    3. Construct or Build
    - This phase refers to production of the actual software product at every spiral.
    - When the product is just thought of and the design is being developed a POC (Proof of Concept) it is developed in this phase to get customer feedback.
    - Then in the subsequent spirals with higher clarity on requirements and design details a working model of the software called build is produced with a version number. These builds are sent to customer for feedback.

    3. Evaluation and Risk Analysis
    - Risk Analysis includes various activities such as identifying, estimating, and monitoring technical feasibility and management risks, such as schedule slippage and cost overrun.
    - After testing the product, at the end of first iteration, the customer will evaluate the software and provide the feedback.
