Modeling plays a pivotal role in software development for several reasons:

# [[/www.startertutorials.com/uml/importance-of-modeling.html|'''Specification''': Models provide a precise way to capture and communicate system requirements and design decisions<sup>1</sup>]].
# [[/www.startertutorials.com/uml/importance-of-modeling.html|'''Guidance''': They serve as a blueprint that guides the construction of the system, ensuring that the final product aligns with the envisioned design<sup>1</sup>]].
