COURSE OBJECTIVE:
Systems modelling helps clarify the charactristics of a system and specify the requirements to be met. Learn a proven set of modelling techniques for specifying IT systems, using selected models from the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a standard for systems specification. Topics covered on the Systems Modelling Techniques course include use case diagrams, analysis class diagrams and state machines.
When combined with our Systems Development Essentials course, this module provides you with the core tools and techniques you'll need to become an effective systems analyst.
Presented to you by one of the expert training consultants pictured below. Each member of our Systems Modelling Techniques training team brings substantial experience of systems modelling and UML to the programme.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
Business analysts, solution developers, project managers and anyone who needs a thorough practical understanding of the tools and techniques of UML (the Unified Modeling language). Systems Modelling Techniques is also a Specialist Practitioner module on the BCS (ISEB) International Diploma in Business Analysis.
