Criticism
P-Modeling Framework obviously has some room for further improvement. For example:
- P-Modeling Sessions require additional resources without knowledge of the original artifact and add extra workload for programmers.
- While doing RST, texts should be compared manually which means that the framework lacks automation.
- One of the possible outcomes in RST is the situation when people "design for RST" — they create artifacts in a way they can be easily reconstructed, without adding new value.
- There’s no reliable statistical evidence of the P-Modeling Framework effectiveness.
- The “silent design sessions” have quite a narrow applicability: only to systems and organizations that can and need document the system in graphical modeling language. This is not the case when:
- Company doesn’t have enough developers “speaking any graphical modeling language” fluently and knowing when and how to apply it, which means very highly-qualified.
- Company doesn’t use any graphical modeling language extensively.
- P-Modeling Sessions can’t help to differentiate between good design and bad design.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
