You seem to be saying that meshing software design, with a presentation of said design to management are the same thing, or that by doing the design in a "management-friendly" manner is beneficial. I don't think I agree with either of those statements, assuming that's what you meant. I find flow charts and boxes and other "I'm a visual person" type of design to be too slow and constraining. I use them for presentation and for a top-level documentation, but I don't design around them. I find that often the "I'm a visual person and need boxes" speech means the programmer needs a crutch and can't seem to dig into the code without those crutches. Realize that I'm not saying that good documentation, including graphs, are bad. -Roberto -Roberto /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
