You can use ALL diagrams in an analysis phase - if it makes sense. Often during an analysis you document existing systems (in order to improve them). Obviously these systems (since they exist) have gone through all design stages. And (if documented) would have all needed model parts including UML diagrams. Of course in almost all cases this documentation does not exist.

If you are designing a system from scratch you would start with

  • plain requirements
  • synthesized use cases
  • static class design
  • behavioral
    • activity and
    • sequence diagram
    • eventually timing
  • components (for larger systems)
  • and finally deployment.

All of the above with back-cycles and different granularity.
