UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a standardized, graphical modeling language used to specify, construct, visualize, and document parts of software or other systems.
The standardized modeling language consists of different types of diagrams, or collections of notation elements, which represent the structure, architecture, interaction, and behavior of systems and their objects. This helps to make complex systems, facts, and processes understandable. UML is mainly used in software development. However, the notation is also suitable for representing business processes.
What are the advantages of UML?
The use of UML offers the following advantages, among others:
- Improved understanding of systems
- Easy identification of risks and optimization potential
- Cost and time savings through early identification of errors
- Uniform language that optimizes collaboration between technicians and non-technical personnel
