APM PMQ - 1 - Life Cycles - 1 - Linear Lifecycle Phases

Here, you’ll explore the classic linear (or “waterfall”) lifecycle and see how it provides structure, predictability, and clear handovers. You’ll look at each phase , concept, definition, deployment, and transition, and understand how they build on one another. You’ll also see where this approach works well and where it can create challenges, especially when requirements evolve. By the end, you’ll be able to explain the strengths and limitations of linear delivery and recognise when it’s the right choice for a project.
