UML sux right?? Trust me when I say this is one of the most transformative books I've read. It taught me how to communicate IN DEPTH about my software designs/plans in a way that has unified my team and enabled us to get on the same page with ease. If you think UML is lame, it might be if you study it try to learn perfect UML for UML's sake. As a tool to communicate however it is enormously beneficial especially if you just take what seems valuable.
