Summary

By far, the most important lesson to take away from this chapter is the following:

Don't get caught up in form over substance! The model that you produce is only a means to an end and the process, notation, and tools that you use to produce the model are but a means to the means to this end. If you get too hung up on which notation to use, or which process to use, or which tool to use, you may wind up spinning your wheels in "analysis paralysis." Don't lose sight of your ultimate goal: to build usable, flexible, maintainable, reliable, functionally correct software systems.
