title: UML standards guide / Best Practices
body: <p>Does anyone know of a decent UML standards guide?</p>
  
  <p>My company currently relies on UML 2.0 (rightly or wrongly) to do the majority (read <em>all</em>) of their design work. I have been asked to come up with a draft 'best practice' guide to help other developers develop better models. The main problem I face is that Im slightly biased against UML... I feel that: if a diagram takes more than 5 mins to draw then its too complicated! Im looking for advice predominantly on what sort of standards I should be looking at. Also Im looking for an external source of information that can be used to balence out my irrational loathing of UML-heavy design and act as a 'sanitizer' for my suggestions.</p>
  
  <p>Most of all Im looking to write a useful document rather than one that will sit moulding away in some obscure network directory.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
