Overview/Description
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.

Target Audience
Software developers who wish to get an insight into traditional software development using Waterfall

Prerequisites
None.
