Re: Need For Kool Aid When DFDing

[TechComm Dood <techcommdood -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I've been knee deep in business process reengineering for the past 2.5
years. DFDs are in fact used, though minimally. Because there are
major political, social, and security issues at risk, you need more
than good diagramming skills to navigate properly.

And I don't understand why in your example the diagrammer would
especially need good political skills. Generally you don't reengineer
your business in a vacuum unless you're an idiot with a lot of money
(I think most of them died out in the great dot-bomb explosion of
2000).
