Business Process Analysis with UML and BPMN Training Course

The course builds upon existing knowledge of UML. Throughout the training, we emphasize the practical application of UML in object-oriented analysis.

Business Analysis is the process of examining, understanding, and defining business needs to develop solutions that meet those needs. It is a key element in the process of managing organizational changes and designing new business solutions. Business analysis ensures that technological, process-related, or organizational solutions meet business goals and needs. It is crucial for the effectiveness of projects and organizational changes by ensuring that the introduced solutions are appropriate, feasible, and fully aligned with business requirements.

Objective:

This training course is designed to assist business analysts in effectively modeling their business processes using BPMN, along with the resources managed by their activities. Conducted within an agile enterprise framework, the course teaches participants how to utilize appropriate BPMN notations and UML business extensions to address their "business requirements" and guide underlying design activities coherently.

There are numerous well-established patterns that are readily accessible to everyone. Often, it involves adapting these patterns by changing their names or implementing them in a particular technology. This approach can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be spent on design and testing. Training Objectives: The course aims to achieve two primary goals—firstly, enabling you to leverage widely recognized patterns; secondly, facilitating the creation and reuse of organization-specific patterns. It also aids in assessing how patterns can cut costs, streamline the design process, and produce a code framework based on your chosen patterns. Target Audience: This course is designed for software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers, developers, operational managers, and software division managers. Course Format: The curriculum emphasizes use cases and their connection to specific patterns. Most examples are illustrated using UML diagrams and straightforward Java examples (the programming language can be adjusted if the course is booked as a private session). It also walks you through identifying pattern sources and cataloging and describing patterns for reuse within your organization.
