I have used a sort of "UML Lite,"[0] from time to time, but that's about as formal as I get.

Normally, I have some kind of "block diagram," on what I call a "napkin sketch."[1]

A lot of documentation is in my head.

But I also tend to work on my own, or on standalone modules.

When we have a team (and I used to work for a Japanese engineering company, so this goes double), the standardized methodology becomes quite important.
