Documentation and UML: Asset or Burden?
There is a common belief that documentation is not needed in the Agile era. This is a dangerous misconception. The question is not the presence of papers, but the transfer of knowledge.
When Is UML Necessary?
- When handing a project over to a new team.
- For coordinating complex integration between departments.
- When designing mission-critical system nodes.
If documentation does not help make decisions or find errors, it is useless. We support "living" documentation that grows together with the code.
