What is Waterfall Project Management?

Waterfall Project Management is a specific approach to tackling a project. It is linear and follows a series of stages or phases. The term 'Waterfall' was first used in 1976. But, an earlier, 1970 article by Winston W. Royce, presented this approach as an example of a flawed, non-working model for software development. So, Waterfall is often used as a pejorative term for a style of project management that is, frankly, not well-suited to many software development projects. But it is extremely well-suited to other projects, in domains like construction, engineering, and manufacturing. These require a highly-planned approach and have a clearly-defined and fixed end-requirement. So, I prefer the more precise terms Planned Project Management or Predictive Project Management to ‘Waterfall’ Project Management. In addition, these don’t carry the stigma that some software Project Managers and Agile practitioners heap upon a highly effective approach to Project Management. Typical Stages Waterfall Project Management Stages are often represented as the stages that are well suited to software development. Hence, the confusion as to whether it is an appropriate approach. These stages are: • Requirements Gathering • Design (and documentation) • Implementation (of working software) • Testing (to verify the solution) • (Installation, or Deployment) • Maintenance However, a more generic lifecycle model, like the one that we use for OnlinePMCourses training better represents the generality of the kinds of projects for which predictive project management is well-suited: • Definition • Planning • Delivery • (Handover) • Closure Some characteristics of Predictive or Waterfall Project Management • Robust definition of the end product • Careful planning and budgeting • High levels of project governance, leading to significant use of documentation Not True about Waterfall Project Management Accusations are often made by detractors of the approach, which are simply not true of predictive project management in skilled hands: • Low engagement with customers and stakeholders • An ‘all at once, big bang approach to delivery’ • Allows for no refinement of or change to the scope or specifications Recommended Videos.
