I'm talking about any one of the the 13 UML diagram types. EVERY type
of diagram examines the relationship between two entities; each form
examines it in a different way. To me, that's pretty rigorous.
One, class digrams, by definition, includes dependency, multiplicity,
association, and aggregation.
You also have the association notations which describe direction,
relationship, etc. These attributes define how data moves through a
system.
Is this not "rigorously identifying the interrelationships between
tasks"?
