Today’s business analyst is seeing an increasing use of the Unified Modelling Language (UML) to describe and communicate business processes and requirements specifications.

This workshop is for business analysts who need to model new business requirements using the UML v2.0. We take an in-depth look at Use Case diagrams and how the business analyst can complement use cases with scenarios, activity, sequence and communication diagrams to comprehensively document new requirements. Numerous exercises throughout the workshop give analysts the opportunity to practice the techniques being taught.

Course hours are usually 9am – 5pm and courses are run in the city CBD.

Is This the Right Course for You?

Business analysts, consultants, systems analysts and those involved with modelling requirements and business processes will all benefit from this workshop. Participants should be familiar with the fundamentals of business analysis and process modelling.

Participants should have attended IRM’s Business Analysis course (or similar) or have a minimum of 12 months practical experience in business analysis.

Course Objectives

To give business analysts the knowledge and confidence to undertake requirements and business process modelling using the UML. Analysts will be able to produce requirements documentation and process specifications for accurate and unambiguous communications with the project stakeholders and with software developers.
