    Re: Waterfall Model

    In Waterfall model every phase is implemented in a sequential order.

    Waterfall model is suitable when the specification and requirements are clearly stated and the project is smaller in size.

    In a Waterfall model the output of one phase forms the input of the next phase.

    This concept actually turn as its disadvantage i.e., whe a mistake occurs in a particular phase, the same mistakes gets carried over to the last phase.

    Waterfall model is time intensive process and almost provides little or no option to change user requirements.
