The waterfall development model is a linear and sequential software development approach where each phase of the project is completed before moving on to the next. It follows a structured and rigid process.
Imagine building a house from scratch, where you have to lay the foundation first, then build the walls, install plumbing and electrical systems, and finally add finishing touches. Each step must be completed before moving on to the next.
