Hello R.A.M.,

it's useful but with the reasonable degree.
You need to undestand that UML should help to get the quick picture of your
project architecture - not bury under "UML<->code corresponding" routine
with a lot of unsignificant details. It must be concise but clear diagrams

Use it as high level instrument, and add details where they are really required
to understand your project - architecture, class/component diagrams, pages
workflow, deployement
