Got to had it to Fowler, he knows how to make money out of old rope.
At no point in my Engineering degree did I have to refer to a book to understand a drawing. "what's that?" "it's a damper" "OK". But Fowler can string out half a book on class diagrams.
To the OP, I would say if you know OO you read wikipedia for an hour and you will pick it up. Rarely will you have to know more than class diagrams or sequence diagrams.Comment

Read, understand, and then never use it again.

Not being harsh but if you are not technical then UML is not going to be of any use to you in enterprise architecture work.Comment

UML isn't technical enough to be useful as an accurate description for code. But UML is also too complex for non-techies. It's rubbish, and most of the good developers I know will just draw any old box diagrams.
