waterfalled

Dropped in tiers

Waterfalled describes something that fell or flowed in the manner of a waterfall—cascading downward in a continuous stream.

Hair that waterfalled down her back tumbled in waves.

In business jargon, waterfalled refers to using the waterfall method of project management, where phases proceed sequentially rather than iteratively: We waterfalled the project instead of using agile.
