Custom Software Development Agreement

A software development process is a structure imposed on the development of a software product. Similar terms include software life cycle and software process. There are several models for such processes, each describing approaches to a variety of tasks or activities that take place during the process. Some people consider a lifecycle model a more general term and a software development process a more specific term.

The key characteristic of a spiral model is risk management at regular stages in the development cycle. One common model uses key aspects of the waterfall model and rapid prototyping methodologies.
