Explain the problems caused due to the waterfall nature of the systems development lifecycle
What will be an ideal response?
One of the reasons for SDLC problems is due to the waterfall nature of the SDLC. Like
a series of waterfalls, the process is supposed to operate in a sequence of nonrepetitive phases.
For example, the team completes the requirements phase and goes over the waterfall into the
design phase, and on through the process. Unfortunately, systems development seldom works so
smoothly. Often, there is a need to crawl back up the waterfall, if you will, and repeat work in a
prior phase. Most commonly, when design work begins and the team evaluates alternatives, they
learn that some requirements statements are incomplete or missing. At that point, the team needs
to do more requirements work, yet that phase is supposedly finished. On some projects, the team
goes back and forth between requirements and design so many times that the project seems to be
out of control.
