Waterfall Methodology

Waterfall Methodology is a linear project management approach where work progresses through sequential phases (requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment) that must be completed before the next phase begins. In practice, detailed planning and documentation occur upfront, with changes minimized once development starts and testing conducted only after all coding is complete. This method is used for projects with well-defined requirements, fixed scopes, and regulatory compliance needs where thorough documentation and phase-gate approvals are essential.

Waterfall Methodology sits under Project Management Methods and Tools in the Product & Program Management domain of the Luminid skills catalogue.
