Show me your flowcharts... and I shall continue to be mystified.


> Show me your flowcharts and conceal your tables, and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your tables, and I won’t usually need your flowcharts; they’ll be obvious. – Fred Brooks


Just got out of a meeting where an internal customer was switching from a consulting service to internal development; the consulting service was there to show what they had already done. It should surprise absolutely no one that they had flowcharts and wireframes in loving detail, but not a single table to be seen.
