Explanation

Waterfall (predictive) methodology is best suited for projects with well-defined, sequential, and largely irreversible phases - exactly how real property (construction/real estate) works: design → permitting → site prep → construction → inspection → handover. You cannot lay a foundation before the design is complete, and revisiting earlier phases is extremely costly. Data analytics and research involve exploratory, iterative work suited to Agile or hybrid approaches. Software development similarly benefits from iterative delivery. Real property is the classic waterfall domain.
