The waterfall method is the perfect system for breaking down big projects into linear action items, but keeping track of those tasks requires top-tier organization.
The ideal waterfall project management template will help you:
- Visualize
your entire project from start to finish
- Track and monitor
task progress in each phase
- Organize
tasks, teammates, and timelines in one place
