  • Advantages
    Disadvantages
    • Simple and easy to use.
    • Easy to manage due to the rigidity of the model – each phase has specific deliverables and a review process.
    • Phases are processed and completed one at a time.
    • Works well for smaller projects where requirements are very well understood.
    • Adjusting scope during the life cycle can kill a project
    • No working software is produced until late during the life cycle.
    • High amounts of risk and uncertainty.
