My team and I have been active in enterprise agile projects since the mid-nineties. We have assembled this broad knowledge and experience in our agile Accelerated Delivery Platform (ADP). Modeling smart use cases, domain models and model driven development have always been important assets in platform and Enterprise Architect has always been and still is our modeling tool of choice.

EA lets you describe the parts and pieces of what you want to build, and how they are interrelated. It then draws the pretty picture of what you're planning to build... or creates a web site of the model with a single click... or creates a word processing document... or exports to an XML file... or plugs into Eclipse... or generates stub code and DDLs... or... well, you get the picture.
