UML is a rich and extensive language that can be used to model not just object-oriented software engineering, but application structure and behavior, and business processes too. Software players have agreed that we cannot do away with documentation of the architecture.
One issue with UML is due to its universality: things in UML cannot be always implemented directly in the target language, or some languages have capabilities that cannot be expressed in UML. So it can be better to know the implementation language beforehand, which restrain its universality.
Disadvantages of Class DiagramThe class diagrams might often take a longer time to manage, and maintain which is sometimes annoying for a developer. It requires time for the synchronization with the software code to set it up and maintain.
Importance of UML Diagram UML diagrams can be used as a way to visualize a project before it takes place or as documentation for a project afterward. But the overall goal of UML diagrams is to allow teams to visualize how a project is or will be working, and they can be used in any field, not just software engineering.
The biggest one is that it's yet another layer of red tape that gets in the way of just $#%$#% coding the thing and making it work.
