Advanced Business Analysis
Professional Certification – Core Course

This workshop uses a case study to help you explore two standard approaches to conceptual modeling the Unified Modeling Language and Information Engineering. It is designed to be prescriptive as well as descriptive. This means that best practice will be emphasized through explanation and application. You will discover what should be done as well as how to do it, and why.

DISCOVER HOW TO:

• Analyse the requirements and create UML models
• Learn the SDLC and / or RUP process
• Create Advanced UML models
• Bonus: Learn the Object Constraint Language
• Create data models
• Normalise data models
• Write precise use cases

COURSE HIGHLIGHTS

Participants will be led, not lectured, through a combination of presentations and hands-on exercises. Our workshops provide an experiential environment where participants can take risks and make adjustments based on their results before approaching large projects. Our workshop is consistent with the International Institute of Business Analysis’ Guide to the Business
Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK® v2.0 Guide).

DURATION:
Traditional - 3 days.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Business analysts, technical analysts, project managers, and subject matter experts who need to capture, document, and communicate well-formed requirements for complex software systems.

PREREQUISITES:
Six months or more of practical business analysis experience. Familiarity with software systems analysis, design, and implementation is also recommended.
