CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

A typical waterfall SDLC with sequential phases (requirements, design, development, testing, deployment, maintenance). The diagram includes approval gates after each phase and rework paths when issues are found during testing.

Key decisions

  • Rework from Testing to Development for minor bugs
  • Rework from Testing to Design for major design flaws
  • Approval gates after Requirements, Design, Development, and Deployment

When to reuse this

For software projects following a structured waterfall model where rework is anticipated during the verification phase.
