Limited adaptability to changing requirements, as the Waterfall method follows a sequential and rigid approach. Reduced customer involvement and feedback throughout the development process. Limited transparency and collaboration due to fewer opportunities for ongoing communication. Longer time-to-market as the entire project is completed in sequential phases. Higher risk of delivering a final product that doesn’t align with customer needs or market demands. Difficulty in incorporating changes once a phase is completed, leading to additional costs and delays. Limited visibility into project progress until later stages, increasing the risk of identifying issues late in the process. Decreased flexibility to respond to emerging challenges or opportunities. Potential for decreased team motivation due to limited autonomy and creativity in the development process.
