Structured Analysis

Structured analysis is a way to understand and solve problems that involves breaking down complex systems into smaller, more manageable parts. It's like taking apart a toy with lots of different pieces so that you can understand how it works and put it back together again.

For example, let's say you're trying to figure out how to build a treehouse. Instead of looking at the whole thing at once, you would start by breaking it down into smaller parts. You might first think about the foundation, and then move on to the walls and roof, and then think about how to add windows and doors.

Structured analysis is just like this process. It helps you look at complicated systems and problems by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable pieces. This can make it easier to understand how the different parts of the system work together, and to identify any problems or inefficiencies.

To do structured analysis, you might use diagrams or charts that help to visualize the different parts of the system. This can help you see connections between different parts, and identify areas that need improvement. And just like with the treehouse, once you've broken a system down into its smaller parts, you can then work on each part individually to make sure everything is working smoothly before putting it all together again.
