   History of the Waterfall Model

In
1970 Royce proposed what is now popularly referred to as the waterfall
model as an initial concept, a model which he argued was flawed (Royce
1970). His paper then explored how the initial model could be developed
into an iterative model, with feedback from each phase influencing
previous phases, similar to many methods used widely and highly
regarded by many today.

Despite Royce's intentions for the
waterfall model to be modified into an iterative model, use of the
"waterfall model" as a purely sequential process is still popular, and,
for some, the phrase "waterfall model" has since come to refer to any
approach to software creation which is seen as inflexible and
non-iterative.
