Wasserfallmodell (EN)

Wasserfallmodell

The waterfall model is a traditional project management model that provides a linear and sequential approach. It consists of clearly defined phases such as requirements, planning, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance, which are processed one after the other. Each phase must be fully completed before the next can begin, which allows for rigid planning and little flexibility during the project.
