Business Analysis Modeling Essentials

 

Course Overview

This course presents several common models 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.

This course has been approved for 14 PDUs | 14 CDUs

Course Objectives

  • Identify common modeling techniques used by business analysts.
  • Create a scope diagram to facilitate in-scope and out-of-scope discussions.
  • Model business processes, creating “as-is” and “to-be” process maps.
  • Develop a basic Entity-Relationship Diagram to model data requirements.
  • Provide a narrative and produce a use case diagram to map out the various paths an actor may take to use the software
  • Implement a Paper Prototype to document interface requirements.

Who Should Attend?

This course is for anyone who needs to know how to create the basic models most often used in software development and process improvement efforts. Participants in the course will learn the notation to create a scope model, process model, data model, use case diagram and narrative, and an interface prototype.

Course Prerequisites

Participants should have worked on at least one software application project. No technical experience is necessary, but an understanding of applications development is helpful.
