Staged delivery waterfall model

A project management approach involves

dividing a project into distinct phases or stages,
where each stage must be completed before the
next stage can begin.
• This approach is called a waterfall because
Staged each phase flows down to the next in a
delivery sequential, linear manner.
• Also known as the incremental delivery
waterfall model, a modified version of the waterfall
model that allows for partial delivery or making
changes to the project at specific intervals or
stages.
Finish to Start Approach

Finish to start (FS) is a type of dependency in

project management that indicates that a
successor task cannot start until the predecessor
task has been completed; the finish of one task
is the start of the next task.
Finish to
start In a construction project, the foundation must be
approach completed before the framing can begin. In this
case, the framing task has a finish-to-start
dependency on the foundation task, meaning
that the framing task cannot begin until the
foundation task has been completed .

The project team works with stakeholders to define the

• Defining the resources; man, machine, material,
money, and timeline are required for a particular

• Defining the goals of the project

• Any constraints or limitations for a specific project

Example
One example of a project that could be managed using the staged delivery waterfall model is the development of a mobile app. Here's how
the stages could be defined in this context: 

● Requirements gathering: The team identifies and gathers the requirements for the mobile app, such as the features and functionality it
should have, the target audience, and the platforms it should be available on.

● Design: The team creates a design or plan for the mobile app based on the requirements gathered. This might include wireframes, user
interface designs, and a detailed plan for how the app will work.

● Implementation: The team develops and implements the mobile app based on the design created. This involves writing code, creating
graphics and animations, and integrating various features and functions.

● Testing: The team tests the mobile app to ensure that it meets the requirements and works as intended. This might include functional
testing, usability testing, and performance testing.

● Deployment: The team deploys the mobile app to the intended audience or end-users, such as through the Apple App Store or Google Play
Store.

● Maintenance: The team provides ongoing maintenance and support for the mobile app, such as fixing bugs, adding new features, and
addressing user feedback.
Link with project management life cycle
● The waterfall methodology is a project management approach that emphasizes a
linear progression from beginning to end of a project.
● Just like in a waterfall, the water progressively falls from one altitude to the lower, in
a similar way, the production cycle progresses sequentially, from one stage to the
other.
● On the basis of nature of the model, it’s an Incremental PMLC model.

Explanation with example
Software development strategy resembling the designs that were used in other industries. This strategy
allows for a project to be split into multiple fixed phases, with each phase requiring the analysis and
work from the previous phase:
● Requirements – analyzing business needs and extensive documentation of all features
● Design – choosing all required technology and planning the full software infrastructure and
interaction
● Coding – solving all problems, optimizing solutions and implementing each component described
in the requirements phase, using the diagrams and blueprints from the design phase
● Testing – extensive testing of all implemented features and components and solving any occurring
issues
● Operations – deployment to a production environment
Link with project type(traditional project) ●

● As we all know that traditional projects are

the type of projects that have defined goal
and defined solution as well.

Strengths:
● This method can be even used by those
people who are not from IT.
● This is the easiest model that even
nonexperience team members can work
on it.
● This is best option for small organization
who have stable and clear requirements.
 Advantages of Staged Delivery Waterfall Model
Fixed timeline and budget: Staged delivery waterfall can be effective for projects
1 with fixed timelines and budgets, as it provides a clear structure and timeline for
development. This can help ensure that the project stays on track and within budget.
Clear structure: Staged delivery waterfall provides a clear and well-defined structure
for the project, with distinct stages and deliverables. This can help ensure that everyone
2 involved in the project understands what is expected of them and when.
Incremental delivery: Staged delivery waterfall allows for incremental delivery of
working software or features. This can provide stakeholders with early access to the
3 software and allow for early feedback, which can help ensure that the final product meets
their needs.
Thorough testing: Staged delivery waterfall includes a dedicated testing stage, which
4 allows for comprehensive testing of the software. This can help ensure that the software
is robust and reliable and can reduce the risk of errors or defects.
Feedback and iteration: Throughout the development and deployment process, the
5 project team should be gathering feedback from stakeholders and users. This feedback
can be used to inform future stages of the project, allowing the team to make adjustments
and improvements to the software as needed.
 Limitations of Staged Delivery Waterfall Model
Limited flexibility: Staged delivery waterfall can be inflexible in situations where there is a
1 need to make significant changes to the project requirements or design. Once a stage is
completed, it can be difficult and costly to make changes to the deliverables without disrupting
the subsequent stages.
Limited stakeholder involvement: Stakeholder involvement is typically limited to the
2 requirements and testing stages, with little opportunity for input during the development and
implementation stages. This can lead to a disconnect between the software or system that is
delivered and the needs of stakeholders.
3 Delayed feedback: While the staged delivery approach allows for early delivery of working
software or features, the feedback from users or stakeholders is typically delayed until later
stages of the project.
Increased risk: The staged delivery approach can increase the risk of defects or errors in the
4 final product. The focus on completing one stage before moving on to the next means that
problems may not be identified until later stages of the project, making them more difficult and
expensive to address.
5 Lack of collaboration: Staged delivery waterfall can sometimes result in a lack of
collaboration between team members, as each stage is typically completed by a different team or
individual.
