Course Description

 
The key to effective business analysis is to provide specification of what functionality a software system will provide its users, rather than how the software will be designed. But too often traditional business analysis produces artifacts and specifications that do not align with the concepts of object- oriented design and development. This course focuses on how business analysts and business systems analysts can provide object-oriented developers with concise specifications of the problem domain within which a software solution will be constructed. Students will learn the power of the Unified Modeling Language version 2 (UML 2) for expressing business concepts and project goals using object- oriented models, to prepare for either in-house, or out-sourced, technical design and implementation. Extensive hands-on exercises using two complete, and parallel, case studies assure that students see how a concept is modeled, and then have the opportunity to immediately apply and test their understanding.
Course Length: 3 Days
