Ziya, you old dog, you're still good news! After all these years, you never
manage to disappoint. And, Bravo Joel! Wonderful article!!!

For everyone who hasn't read the amazingly honest article about the self
imposed MBA Legislative Authority in the IT industry, I highly recommend it!

..who frequently inquire about metrics/ROI/etc on design here (and get a
rant from me :-)

"Our team is conducting a benchmarking effort to gather an outside-in view
on development performance metrics and best practice approaches to issues of

process and organization from companies involved in a variety of software
development (and systems integration)."

"Listen. Let me tell you a secret about management consulting companies and
software organizations...Here is how the game is played."

Not that this ever happens when design is asked to justify itself. :-)
