The Win-Win Spiral Model proposed by Barry Boehm is a new take on a traditional software process. While maintaining many of the traditional elements of the spiral model, the Win-Win version strives to involve all stakeholders in the development process. It involves a collaborative engine that establishes "win" conditions set by users, customers, developers, and system engineers in order to evolve and reprioritze requirements throughout the process. Traditional practices, such as requirements engineering, design, code, and test, are still present during each iteration of the spiral, but the collaborative step throughout the development process makes it distinctly adaptive. This collaboration delivers software more quickly, with higher quality, and less costly due to the up-front satisfaction of user requirements and reduced amount of maintenance.
