This UML training course teaches the use of the Unified Modelling Language v2.1 for business analysis within the context of a model-driven software development process or for business process re-engineering. Industry best practice is taught for business process modelling, conceptual data modelling and business role modelling at every level of abstraction. The models produced can be traced through to the requirements for any kind of computer system. Each technique is taught to the level required for competence on a real project. Understanding is tested and improved with exercises based on a real-world project example and using a suitable case tool.
Delegates will learn:
  • The basics and the necessary detail of the Unified Modelling Language for business modelling
  • How to model a business process at multiple levels of abstraction using a hierarchy of UML activity diagrams (flow charts)
  • How to structure a business process model using activity diagrams, business use case diagrams and packages for multi-user access and change management
  • How to model business concepts and facts using classes and their relationships on class diagrams
  • How to model business worker roles together with line and operational relationships using classes, packages and their relationships
  • How to integrate business modelling techniques into a conventional approach to project documentation
  • How to map a business model into a system requirements model using actors, use cases and classes such that each element is traceable from one model to the other
Suitable for:
Business Consultants, Business Analysts, Business Process Engineers and System Analysts with at least 2 years experience. This course is not suitable for those seeking certification as a step towards a qualification. See UML Certification for a detailed discussion.
