Moreover, aspects such as pricing and suitability in different work environments will be considered since each organization is expected to have its advantages and disadvantages. Extensive research from the literature will be conducted to ensure that a clear ...

The delay problems arose from the failing of the software. A system that worked well with one team or one project could easily fall when used on a different team. The waterfall approach was also to blame for the delay problems. The system relied on the mass launch rather than a sequential launch of the software (Bright pg 2). Why has the Waterfall Method "stuck around"? i.e. why is it still in use? The Waterfall method has stuck around since waterfall method mostly offers the stepwise approach to any problem. It shows the developers the steps and the ...
