Advantages:
It is a simple model and easy to maintain project implementation is very easy.
Drawbacks:
Can’t incorporate new changes in the middle of the project development.

Advantages:
When ever the customer with the requirements then this is the best model to gather the clear
requirements.
Drawbacks:
It is not a complete model.
Time consuming model
Prototype has to be build company’s cost
The user may strict to the prototype and limit his requirements.
3) Spiral Model
Defining the objects
Work around
Constraints
Refunding and planning for the next cycle. Risk root cause Analysis.
Estimation
Contingencies.
Implementation.
Advantages
This is the best-suited model for highly risk-based projects.
Drawbacks
Time consumed model, costly model and project monitoring and maintenance is difficult.
