I’m a business analyst. Did you know that Business requirements are going from hundreds of pages of text to “cartoons” interspersed with text? It’s because a picture is worth a thousand words.

For what it’s worth, the developers love it.

If you don’t like pictures, here’s the link to the text, rather than the “cartoons”: https://mises.org/system/tdf/Road%20to%20serfdom.pdf?file=1&type=document

Problem is, most people don’t have the attention span to read the whole thing. Different strokes for different folks.

Are you referring to UML? If so, it's not just developers who love it. A well done UML diagram is easily understood by business users (at least, the ones I deal with) and everyone from our business requirements analysts, business users, developers, infrastructure architecture, engineering and operations folks absolutely love it. Even our Project Managers and Internal Audit folks love it.

I've lived in all those worlds, now I make my bread and butter doing business and IT process optimization as I've "lived" in just about every part of the bank and UML fits perfectly in that world too.

I was introduced and learned UML back in 2003 at version 2. Been using it since.
