I think the problem for many people with UML is they assume it is a process 
rather than a notation. UML won't solve your problems, but allying it to 
other software engineering techniques it can be very useful. It is also the 
most widely spoken dialect to communicate your design ideas.

Far too big though. Eccentric though he may be, I do quite like Tony Simons 
approach to UML (http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~ajhs/).
