bottom-up approach
Starting from foundations
A bottom-up approach starts with small components or details and builds toward a larger whole.
In business, decisions flow from lower-level employees upward rather than from executives down.
In programming, you build basic modules first, then combine them into complex systems.
The opposite is a top-down approach: We took a bottom-up approach, letting each team develop solutions before coordinating company-wide.
