The Waterfall Software Development Model

Skillsoft

Updated Mar 19, 2018

Waterfall is the traditional sequential software development model. Waterfall is the most widely used software development model, historically, and while Agile methods are gaining traction, these methods still use some elements of Waterfall. This course covers the Application Development Lifecycle (ADLC) approach, then goes on to the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) approach, and finally completes the sequence by contrasting traditional waterfall development with iterative approaches, such as Agile.
