I link three things together when discussing tools and UML: modelling maturity, process
capability, and tool sophistication.  I don't think you can make any real progress in one
without having to address the others.  In the end, you extract value from your tools only to
the least-capable level of the three.  For instance, there is no point in buying round-trip
engineering or MDA tools if you have a weak process or immature models.  CMM would say that
you shouldn't be buying tools until you're at CMM Level 3 because you won't know if they make
any difference.
