Fractal - Kaizen Methodology - Part 2

Fractals! What are Fractals? For those of you who are unfamiliar with the word fractals, have a look at the picture below.



It is a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole.

Still not clear. Consider the Koch Snowflake. One of the famous and simplistic Fractal around. (Ok.. Almost simplistic..)



You start with a equilateral triangle. Then replace the middle third of every line segment with a pair of lines so as to form a bump. Now this process repeated endlessly results in a fractal.



So now how is this related to a Project Development methodology? And What does it have to do with Data Quality? Let's wait and see!
