Split the big job
You plan a picnic. That is one big job. Where do you start?
Loading lab…
Start by splitting the picnic into parts. Each part is small enough to do.
Now tap Forget a part in the lab. The bus job has no box, so it is left out.
Step 1 of 5
- One big job: plan a picnic.
- Part 1: food.
- Part 2: fun and games.
- Part 3: getting there.
- Part 4: cleanup.
Decomposition splits a big job into smaller, named parts.
Give every part a clear name. A part with no name is easy to forget. A forgotten part leaves its jobs undone.
