 Not true. From requirements (should) come architecture and design and 
implementation plan, in some "physical" form (for all but the most 
hackish projects). Those precursory deliverables are the high-level view 
into the implementation. Guaranteed project failure: bring on the 
programmers before doing any architecting, engineering, designing, 
planning.

That said, for understanding CodeMess (and most code is such), I use 
Doxygen.
