Development Models

These are the common lifecycle models used for development projects at Wipro.

The last phases of the lifecycle are

planned in sync with the first
phases. Used for new software
projects or major enhancements to
existing projects

The V process model

Works when the requirements are Works best when requirements

known for the current iteration don’t change during the course of
initially and the detailed the development
requirements evolve subsequently

The 2 I (incremental /
Iterative) model The Waterfall model
