Waterfall Model ✔✔ -they finish one stage and then move to the next and then to the next and so on
-finish in sequence
-build a product at once
-test whole software after they are done with everything
Disadvantages of waterfall model: ✔✔ -assumes that requirements can be frozen (after we finish each
stage, we cannot go back)
-very difficult to go back to any stage after a stage is finished (impossible to change anything once you
are done, so we assume the requirements can be frozen)
-little flexibility and adjusting scope is difficult and expensive (just like in PM, in this model it is very
expensive to go back if you have not planned for it)

-clearly defined goal, small scope
