UML - ykes!!! Be aware, Object Oriented Analysis
(OOA) is an oxymoron. OOA techniques mix analysis
with design. The main stated reason for doing such,
say the OOA gurus, is a clean transfer from analysis
to design. Unfortunately, the result is usually poor
analysis as a result of trying to do both analysis and
design at the same time.

TW's do not need to understand design considerations.
We deal with the end-user's experience. We need to
understand analysis.

Also remember the meaning of analysis: Separation of a whole into its component parts.

So, does this mean you don't separate the whole? An object is by programmer definition a whole, not a part.
