I had seen this process, and received training in it a long time ago. The timing of the article as a refresher and catalyst to "stick with the basics" to get the job done was ideal.

I am faced with a project that has numerous interrelated but not necessarily interdependent factors that needed to be charactrized for management in a relatively simple and straight forward way. I've rediscoverd the tool - and its already paying off. Thanks for bringing this (back) to light!

Now I can only hope that management likes fish.
