Question

Is it possible to combine process models? If so provide an example?

Answer 1

Solution: Yes, it is possible to combine the software process models.

Some of the possibilities of combining the software process models are evolutionary process models, the spiral model and the incremental process model.

These are the different techniques of combining the process model which are used differently as per different situations.

Answer 2

The process models can be combined because all the processes are about similar to each other as all the models have these basic phases like: requirements gathering, planning, designing, implementation and deployment but each model suggest the different process flow. For example a linear or sequential approach would be appropriate in case when all the requirements are well defined and have no chance of change in future. In case, when the developer does not know about the efficiency of algorithm and in many other cases, prototyping model would be the best choice.
