Mark Lines is a Co-founder of Unified Process Mentors (www.UPMentors.com). He has spent far too much time in the last few years discussing the merits of one methodology versus another. However he has recently been extremely encouraged by the open source Eclipse Process Framework project that allows customers to easily adopt a set of practices that make sense for them without having to adapt an entire new set of branded terminology.
