The Waterfall model is a sequential planning and development approach that executes phases such as requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing and maintenance in strict order. It emphasizes documentation, fixed milestones and clear handovers. Suitable for stable requirements, but inflexible and costly to change when faults surface late.
