3 Ways to Reduce Complexity

Check out this article called Three Universal methods of reducing complexity - it is written for programmers but perhaps it could be generalized.

The three ways to reduce complexity from this article are:

  1. Partitioning - Split thing up into easy to manage chunks.
  2. Hierarchy - You could also think of this as context, details emerge as the task at hand drills down into more detailed views.
  3. Independence - If you have intertwined components it is much harder to change one of them.
