WinWin Spiral Model

Introduction The WinWin Spiral Model uses Theory W (win-win) to develop software and system requirements, and architectural solutions, as win conditions negotiated among a project's stakeholders (user, customer, developer, maintainer, interfacer, etc.). The WinWin negotiation tool is a Unix workstation-based groupware support system that allows stakeholders to enter win conditions, explore their interactions, and negotiate mutual agreements on the specifics of the new project being contracted. The model and support system also feature a central role for quantitative tradeoff analysis tools such as COCOMO.
