Do you know what top-down design is all about? Do I have it right? Give an example of top-down design and how it aided project management.

Expert Solution
Step 1 - Introduction

The top-down design approach follows the decomposition of the system into small parts by breaking down the entire task into small parts of it. It is a reverse process chain where instead of building up the process tree from down, the process begins from the top and finishes at the bottom. 

This approach is used when the person is completely aware and knows the final output or result. So from the final stage, the process is decomposed into its smaller parts.
