What is the Problems of Waterfall Model?
In reality, customers may not know what their needs are until they see the software at work, so changing their requirements leads to redesign, redevelopment and retesting, and increased costs.

The various approaches used for delivering and managing projects could be more easily understood in the context of process control models and project complexity.
