Duration:
On-Site : 3 Days
Virtual : 3 Half Day Sessions
Brief Description:
The workshop teaches the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and an understanding of the Unified Process and how to incorporate them into a repeatable development process at your organization. The training teaches and provides exercises in modeling techniques used for project planning, scoping, requirements gathering and design for object-oriented development projects.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?:
Those who will find this of value are: Team Leads, Developers, Business Analysts, Solutions Analysts, Information Architects, Designers, and Project Managers.
MATERIAL:
Each participant receives a solution set using Unified Modeling Language diagrams with a glossary.
Learning Use Cases & UML
The Learning Use Cases & UML Techniques Course provides training in the methodology needed for capturing and modeling the artifacts for Object-Oriented and Legacy System development. The class provides a life cycle and techniques used for IT process improvement using use cases and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The course focus is on how to:
- Develop use cases and build analysis and design deliverables using the Unified Modeling Language (UML)
- Implement a repeatable process for project initiation, requirements analysis, analysis and detailed design phase of the SDLC
The objectives of the course are to:
- Provide an understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle, methodology steps and artifacts needed for Object-Oriented Development Projects
- Provide practical group exercises for building UML artifacts using the UML notations
- Provide an optional lab for creating real life deliverables for analysis and design
- How to plan projects using an iterative and incremental approach
