Maarten,
As a relative newcomer to the UML and Rational Rose, I don't have a lot of
experience with all the diagrams. However, I have an opinion nonetheless.
Our organization is relatively small, and has little overhead money for new
tools and/or training in those tools. We also have a large number of
traditionally-minded developers who believe the only way to develop code is
the hard way, i.e., "from scratch." We purchased only one floating license
to use on this project, and we quickly learned that the 5 or six developers
could not do their jobs using the tool. So, we took somewhat of a modified
approach in that we are using the Rose model to store information after it
has been generated outside the tool. But, we started our involvement with
the Rational Toolset by attending a course taught by Kendall Scott, "Use
Case Driven Object Modeling with UML." (Excellent course, BTW. I recommend
it highly.)
I believe I can say with 100% certainty that the one thing our entire team
can agree on is the value of Use Case Modeling. I'm convinced that we would
have no clear understanding of system requirements without it. My view is
the Use Case diagrams are the foundation of the system. Nothing else can be
built without them.
Short answer is: Use Case Diagrams, without question.
Any other opinions?

Hello everyone,
We are having a small discussion in the company right now. I was wondering
what your opinion is about this.
The question is, which of the diagrams are most important to your
development process? and most of all why?
I am looking forward to your replies.
