Business Modeling and Analysis w/UML
Course: BMUML
Duration: 3 Days
Level: I
Course Summary
Business Modeling and Analysis provides an holistic approach to business modeling and analysis by examining Requirements Management, Requirements Elicitation, and Use Cases leveraging the Unified Modeling Language (UML). By using the same notation across business and system domains, communication between business analysts and software teams is improved, and business considerations are more likely to be included in the system requirements, eventually leading to a better system. Using UML gives us a standard notation for modeling the enterprise. The course introduces UML as a business notation, and teaches the students business modeling principles.
