Well, it's quite logical: UML can be used to map out both software and
business development (they are, after all, two sides of the same story),
the designer can twiddle-n-polish the interface and the programmer can
take care of 'exceptional tasks' that can't easily be taken care of via
the UML interface without adding too much complexity.
