I know methodologies, like Extreme Programming (XP), which specifies its own specific practices for developing software. However, unlike Scrum where it focuses more on management aspects, XP specifies software practices that are required to be followed. From reading this article, these steps eliminate the explicit modeling phase using tools such as BPMN and UML. In another article from Martin Fowler, he further explains such discouragement.
Personally, I prefer the model-driven methodologies I guess it's up to the preference of companies and people. One of Agile goal is to "free developers from document works". Methodology like XP seems to easily lead to under documentation. I think to achieve that goal, the solution is to implement the tool to help developer reduce the workload on writing document, not by writing less documents, by gathering information from existing diagrams and automatically generate reports (in RTF, PDF, HTML in the case of Enterprise Architect of Sparx System).
Some software engineers also complain about drawing diagrams consuming their time. In my opinion, the solution is not to draw diagram, but using the tool. Modeling tools today support round-trip engineering, where you can synchronize between your code and your diagrams, thus eliminates the extra effort to manually correct the diagrams if the code base changes (specifically, class diagram).
How does modeling fit into a team that is using Extreme Programming?
