Methodology mesh: which software development process do you use?

Staying true to my nature as a pessimistically pragmatic non-conformist, I tend not to buy into any one thing 100%, and rather adapt it for my own needs.  For instance, I enjoy the Rational Unified Process model for iteratively developing software on a project as a whole, but I find the Microsoft Solutions Framework superior for managing the team aspects of projects.  Also, I find eXtreme Programming principles helpful for the individual when working on a project item. 

 

So, I use a mish-mash of methodologies in getting my own stuff done.  It’s and loosely-defined, but it’s what works for me, and that’s what counts most.

 

What do you use?  Do you mix-and match?

Scott Ambler (Software Development mag) had an excellent article recently about 'The Right Tool for the job'. It compares various methodologies - http://www.sdmagazine.com/documents/s=826/sdm0312h/ (may need a free registration).
