One of the outcomes of the 2002 ECPPM conference was a recognition of the lack of product and process modelling jokes. If you heard one, send it to (without the .x!) zturk.x@itc.fgg.uni-lj.si . Here are a few overheared during ECPPM 2002.

Q: How many product modellers it takes to change a lightbulb?

A: Four! The first creates the STEP model, the second creates the IFC model, the third creates the bcXML model. The fourth really does not care about product modelling, but knows how to get the job done.

Q: How many process modellers it takes to change a lighbulb?

A: Just one! He does the process model and then passes on the hard work to the team of the four product modellers (see previous joke).
