 Identification of Model 

Here we have chosen an Iterative Waterfall Model.

1. Reason why we have selected:

• Requirements and needs are mostly the same , as time being there will not be major changes in that.
• If at any phase there is something that needs to be changed , we can give feedback.
• After Deployment of a particular version , if required to do some changes then follow the same iteration.

2. Reason for Rejection of another suitable model:

• Incremental Model: We don’t have to make different modules and work according to that and release that.
• Spiral Model: In that major focus is on risk management.
