Description
To paraphrase an expert, "if you don't get the requirements right, nothing else matters on the project." This course presents several common BA modeling techniques to help you elicit and analyze requirements. You will practice analyzing, modeling, and reviewing the requirements as you work through an engaging case study. You will also learn and practice industry-standard modeling notation for each model. The models in this class follow the concurrent modeling framework, emphasizing process, data, interaction, and interface requirements. This simple framework will help you develop a quicker and more complete set of requirements.
Intended Audience
This workshop is designed to quickly provide essential modeling skills for business analysts, project managers, developers, and anyone involved in software development projects. It also provides excellent information for business clients and sponsors, quality assurance analysts, and other stakeholders who need or want to learn more about modeling.
