What is the point?
Kathy Sierra brings up some good points about "Rules" in her blog (see link below):

Inspired by her comments, I put together the attached diagrams: (link to PDF file below)

I find it an interesting analogy to think of rules as signposts or trees in the forest that help keep you on the right path. Of course if there are too many trees or the signposts turn into fences, then you will lose sight of new opportunities!
Don't lose sight of the forest for the trees ... especially if your goal is no longer on your current path through the woods!

Hey,
I was trying to download your Business Life Cycle of Rules but the link doesn't seem to work anymore. I found it elsewhere, but it took some searching. Thought you might want to know.
I think it's great, btw. So simple. So clear.
Jon,
I've updated the link. Thanks for letting me know!
Dave
