Not necessarily. As long as it's finished before someone else needs to
work with the code. :-)

Exactly. Gene makes it sound as if the whole purpose of putting UML
diagrams was the benefit of the *writer*. I rather think the writer can
make good use of UML on a whiteboard or piece of paper during design
phase. UML in documents is there to help *readers* better understand a
design.
<rant>I have seen quite a lot of documents apparently written with the
writer in mind instead of the reader ("brain dump"). That attitude
seems to be fairly common. This is unfortunate since it limits
usefulness of documents a lot.
Unfortunately that seems to be true for code as well: there seems to be
a tendency to just make things work without consideration of ease of
use. That is mostly determined by API and not internals. Programmers
(on average) seem to be more concerned with internal workings of their
classes than with the public visible and usable API.</rant>
Kind regards
