The Truth About RUP

The Truth About RUP: "Every methodology I've come across has, at its kernel, a very small section labelled 'do magic here'.

RUP is much the same. You draw the user interaction diagrams, you do the flow things, , you draw class diagrams with methods and stuff and then they get turned into code and the application falls out of the bottom of the process."

It doesn't matter what type of software development methodology you use, in the end success depends upon having people on your team with the right skills and aptitudes. That doesn't mean "don't bother with process" - it means that no process can make up for not having the right people.
