After reading his blog entry, I found myself truly laughing out loud. I was imagining a bunch of Council Leaders in ancient Egypt sitting around in a meeting trying to capture all of this in UML. Maybe you could draw a correlation to UML and hieroglyphics. Perhaps they were sitting around in a JAD session trying to fine-tune the roles and responsibilities. Which leads to the real question: Who was the PHB in this scenario? At any rate, it's definitely worth a read.
