There's a strong case for decoupling the process flows, requirements, business analysis, scoping, current state understanding; from the implementation. Maybe even having a separate consulting firm do that work up front before going to

I prefer to use SQL because it handles the set definition very cleanly. It is basically the "where" clause of a query. And it's a good middle ground where programmers and business analysts can speak the same language to des
