rising: "Our plan is to invent some sort of doohickey that everyone
wants to buy."
PHB, to Dilbert: "The visionary leadership part is done. How long

Wonderful! I missed that one somewhere.


Then there's the Feature Creep character, who specifies user
requirements to people like Dilbert... and Roy.

Dilbert: "Your requirements list includes 400 features.
No human would be able to use a product with that level of complexity."

FC: "Good point. I'd better add 'Easy to use'."
