Modelling Decision and Rules with OMG DMN Training Course

This course builds upon existing knowledge of UML. During the training, we emphasize the practical application of UML in object-oriented analysis for government workflows. The focus is on enhancing skills that align with public sector governance and accountability.

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

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 provides an introduction to these standards and guides participants on when to use each one, ensuring alignment with best practices for government workflows, governance, and accountability.

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 Introduction to Enterprise Architect training course is designed for all individuals who wish to utilize Sparx Systems’ UML modeling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modeling activities within a government context. The course is tailored for those who are unfamiliar with the features, functions, and use of Enterprise Architect for government workflows.

This course, designed to align with public sector workflows and governance, combines lectures, demonstrations, and interactive laboratories to provide a comprehensive overview of building and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2 for government. The curriculum emphasizes practical skills and best practices essential for effective EA management in federal, state, and local government environments.

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

Gaining insight into 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 delineates various stakeholder concerns related to a system, such as security, information, and measurements, through a series of predefined viewpoints. These are then mapped to the corresponding views in NAFv4.

Additionally, the Architecture Stages outlined in the NATO NAFv4 Methodology help participants understand how to effectively utilize UAF views to ensure coherence and completeness. This methodology also enables traceability from high-level goals down to the personal and physical resources required for their realization.

The concepts and techniques covered during the course are progressively applied by attendees through an end-to-end case study and a series of exercises.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Extensive exercises and practice sessions.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

One of the fastest-growing roles in the IT industry is that of the IT Business Analyst. Business Analysts are essential members of any IT team, found across both private and public sector organizations.

This course offers a clear, step-by-step guide for government on how the Business Analyst can effectively perform their role using state-of-the-art object-oriented technology.

The Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM) is an initiative led by the Object Management Group (OMG) to develop a modeling standard that supports both the USA Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the UK Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF). This standard, known as UPDM, is designed to enhance interoperability and consistency in architectural models for government use.
