Although one may call a component a phase, the five components of ADDIE are not necessarily linear, you may have to come back to any one at any given time.
ADDIE could be viewed both as a component and a phase model as shown by the Nicolas Tsapatsoulis' drawing. Addie, when created around 1975 was first a waterfall model and then gradually evolved into a more dynamic one.
In more recent times, the US army interprets ADDIE as a non-linear model.
