The Spiral methodology combines elements of Waterfall and Agile, with a strong emphasis on risk management. The project is divided into multiple cycles, and each cycle includes:
Determining objectives
Identifying and resolving risks
Development and testing
Planning the next iteration

Best suited for:
Large-scale, complex systems
Projects with high technical or business risk
Without proper risk assessment, Spiral projects can become expensive and difficult to manage.
