Waterfall Architecture

Waterfall architecture is a traditional project management approach where tasks are completed sequentially, like falling steps. Each phase—such as planning, design, development, testing, and deployment—must be finished before moving on to the next. This linear process ensures clear structure and documentation, making it easy to track progress. However, it offers less flexibility for changes once a phase is completed. It's best suited for projects with well-defined requirements, where adjustments are unlikely, providing a straightforward, orderly path from start to finish.
