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.

Course Audience:

This course is designed for government managers who wish to understand BPMN diagrams, as well as business consultants, business analysts, business process engineers, system analysts, and any other professionals involved in analyzing and planning business processes using standardized, unified modeling notation.

Course Goals:

• Produce high-quality process diagrams for government
• Model in the BPMN process notation
• Capture as-is process information
• Implement optimized process flows for people-intensive processes
• Simplify complex process definitions and break them into more manageable pieces

The Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), Decision Model and Notation (DMN), and Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN) are three Object Management Group (OMG) standards designed for process, decision, and case modeling. This course offers an introduction to these standards and provides guidance on when each should be utilized in the context of operations for government agencies.

There are numerous established patterns widely available for government use. Sometimes it involves adapting these patterns by changing names or implementing them in specific technologies. This can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be spent on design and testing. Training Goals: This course has two primary objectives: first, to enable participants to reuse well-known patterns; second, to facilitate the creation and reuse of patterns specific to their organization. It helps participants estimate how patterns can reduce costs, systematize the design process, and generate a code framework based on these patterns. Audience: The course is designed for software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers, developers, operational managers, and software division managers within government agencies. Course Style: The course focuses on use cases and their relationship with specific patterns. Most examples are explained using UML and simple Java examples (the language can be adjusted if the course is booked as a closed session for government). It guides participants through the sources of these patterns and demonstrates how to catalog and describe them for reuse across the organization.

This introductory course on Enterprise Architect is tailored for individuals who plan to utilize Sparx Systems' UML modeling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modeling tasks but lack familiarity with its features, functionalities, and applications. The training aims to equip participants with the necessary skills to effectively leverage Enterprise Architect in their professional workflows, ensuring alignment with public sector standards and best practices for government use.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of building and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2. Through a blend of lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs, participants will gain the foundational knowledge necessary for effective EA implementation. The curriculum is designed to align with public sector workflows, governance, and accountability, ensuring that the skills learned are directly applicable to architecture initiatives for government agencies.

Objective: This course is designed to assist participants in understanding how to effectively implement the UAF and NAF enterprise architecture frameworks for government.

Comprehending the concepts of UAF 1.1 within the context of the NATO NAF v4 Architecture Framework is highly beneficial. The Domain Meta-model (DMM) of UAF outlines various stakeholder concerns related to a system, such as security, information, and measurements, through a series of predefined viewpoints. These viewpoints are then mapped to corresponding views in NAF v4.

The Architecture Stages outlined in the NATO NAFv4 Methodology provide insight into how to efficiently utilize UAF views to ensure coherence and completeness. This approach also facilitates traceability from high-level objectives down to the personal and physical resources required for their implementation.

Throughout the course, participants will apply these concepts and techniques through an end-to-end case study and a variety of exercises.

Format of the Course:

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Extensive exercises and practical applications.
• Hands-on implementation in a live laboratory environment.
