Project Scheduling

Scheduling is rather straightforward for both models. However, you do need to consider a few minor differences and points.

Standard Waterfall Model

In the Linear SDPM for the Standard Waterfall model, the skills required in the team change from architects to developers to test technicians as the project moves through its life cycle. Because you have no feedback loops or scope change requests, the architects can move on to other projects once they have finished their work on a project that follows the Linear SDPM model. Their deliverables (design documents) are handed off to the developers.

Rapid Development Waterfall Model

Because of the likelihood that you will have dependencies between deliverables sets, the schedules of each concurrent development swim lane will be related. Resource contention will restrict the flexibility you have in scheduling tasks that require the same skills and competencies.
