EFFECTIVE USE CASE DEVELOPMENT

This 2-day course is designed to provide students with intensive, practical training in the concepts of requirements specification through use cases. During the course, the students write at least three non-trivial use cases. At course completion, students will have a comprehensive understanding of use cases, how to write useful and effective use cases, and both their value and limitations in either procedural or object-oriented development lifecycles. This course has been endorsed by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) as compliant with the Business Analyst Book of Knowledge (BABOK).
Course Length: 2 Days
