[Off Topic] question for UML users

2009-04-29 Thread Andrew Gould
I need to create flow charts for analytical and reporting processes at
work.  I had played with the UML editor that came with PC-BSD and noticed
you could store notes with the objects (very cool).

Can/should UML be used for something like this?

Thanks,

Andrew

UML is a notation that facilitates communications (amongst other things).  If 
UML helps get the message across, there is no reason not to use it.  If you 
need to express concepts that traditionally had been captured using flow 
charts, UML activity diagrams and/or state charts will likely allow you to do 
the same.
