The document discusses several prescriptive software development models: 1. The waterfall model is a linear sequential model and was one of the earliest prescriptive models proposed. 2. Variations of the waterfall model include the V-model and incremental model, which allow for some iteration and incremental delivery of features. 3. Evolutionary models like prototyping and the spiral model combine iterative development with controlled aspects of waterfall, producing prototypes and incremental releases to manage risk.
