Hi James,

You’re definitely right! Just one sentence “If possible it should take a form which is understandable by all interested stakeholders including customers.” is way to less to underline the importance of involving the non-technical user in the process. In the part about modelling dimenstions I’ve talked about the stakeholder-modelling-dimension. My opinion is that different models are needed to create a software artefact. Most models should be at the point of the business expert on the stakeholder-modelling-dimension, but there are some models which can’t be there (like a security model).

Anyway, the business user should be in a central position! That’s also the focus we have at Mendix (the company I work for). The primary user of our MDE tooling is the business analist.
