This is just a quick questions to Georg, Erik, and everyone else.
How many of you use UML modelers on a daily basis?
How many people do you have in your development teams?
How many of you actually use a development method that is not a basic code
and fix?
----- My personal comments about UM Modelers-----
If you are a small design group of 8 people doing every aspect of the
project. You have no reason to be using UML, nor should you be worring about
CMM certifications... 8)
If you are a small design group of 8 people scattered around the world, like
when I was on the development teams at Reticula Bio, UML is a great tool.
UML is also excellent if you use it on every project! If you do not use this
method every time, you are not getting the benefits of UML. UML is designed
to help you estimate your project, and organize it. UML 1.2 or 2.0 methods
are not anywhere near the point of programming the code for you and should
not be used or expected to do that. Frameworks maybe, not everything.
You should not be using UML unless your project is BIG! UML was designed
with GE and IBM in mind, not Game or General Software developers. You use
UML when your design team is 20 more and it's a multi-layered BIG project,
(your Projects sizes for your company remain BIG).
