I agree with everyone saying UML is the way to go.
Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:
1. Remember that each UML diagram is ONE view of the system. Creating one UML diagram will not explain all aspects of the system.
2. Keep in mind that each UML diagram therefore has a specific purpose which can be either:
A) Structural
or
B) Behavioral

Structural Example
Class diagram
Deployment diagram

Behavioral Example
Activity Diagram

If you keep these things in mind, UML will make a lot more sense and you will become a much more powerful communicator of what you are doing.

What It Means
This means that you will most likely be creating a few diagrams to communicate what you are doing from different angles (behavioral and structural).

The Power of Simplicity
This is how UML helps us to focus on one aspect of what we are trying to communicate.
How many times has a developer tried to explain his architecture of some set of classes and he jumps around from class names to specific function calls. Agghghg!!
Focus.


Good luck
