Component-Based Development -- An Unexpected Benefit
Although the marketplace seems to be fascinated with the UML-RUP (Unified Modeling Language-Rational Unified Process) approach to object-oriented development, I believe that there are many reasons why UML-RUP is insufficient for component-based development. UML-RUP seems suited for "green field" projects. It provides no help in dealing with the development or with the reuse of components and designs.

Spiking the Architecture: The Foundation of Iteration
At a recent conference, I had an interesting discussion with a manager about iterative development practices. As we discussed the advantages/disadvantages of the approach, he summarized his position as follows. "You know, I don't really see anything different in this new, iterative style of development. We've always iterated. Still do. We start with a simple entity-relationship diagram and refine it through successive meetings until we get it right. Then we move to design and continually refine our design until it is right.

Are Requirements Dead?
When Copernicus initially proposed that the earth revolved around the sun, his theory was met with derision. After all, any damn fool could look up and see that the opposite was true. A century and a half later, after proving that Copernicus was right after all, Galileo was packed off to Rome to have a little chat with the Inquisition.
