Three Data Decomposition Techniques
1. Functional Decomposition
This is the process of taking a complex process and breaking it down into its individual functions or tasks. It focuses on what the system does rather than how the data is structured. In engineering and software, this results in a hierarchy of functions where the top level is the broad goal and the lower levels are specific operations.
