Waterfall — PMP - Project Management Professional Practice Questions
Waterfall is a sequential, plan-driven project management approach in which each phase, such as requirements, design, build, test, and deploy, must be fully completed before the next begins. The PMP exam covers waterfall as the classic predictive life cycle, where scope, schedule, and cost are defined upfront and changes are managed through a formal change control board. It is best suited for projects with well-understood, stable requirements and low uncertainty. The exam requires candidates to recognize when waterfall is appropriate and how its process groups and knowledge areas apply in practice.
