UML For Business Analysts

INTRODUCTION

The OMG’s Unified Modeling Language (UML®) has become the de-facto standard for the analysis and design of software and systems. It helps modellers to meet customer requirements, collaborate during design, detect problems early, and reduce overall project costs.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This three day, hands-on course provides the foundation you will need to make the most of UML. It starts with an introduction to general modeling concepts, and then leads into the background and history of the UML. The key concepts of structural and behavioral modeling are covered in some detail through interactive, example-led workshops. These practical sessions ensure that you will be able to model following the course and thus see immediate returns on your training investment.
