The training in "Object-Oriented Analysis and Design using UML" is addressed to analysts, designers, programmers, testers and project managers, offering an introduction to system modeling using UML. Through case studies, participants gain skills in modeling requirements, business processes, as well as documentation of functional and non-functional requirements. The next stages of training include the analytical model, design phases - both static and dynamic, and practical use of the modeling tool Enterprise Architect. The training provides a solid basis for effective modeling of processes in enterprises, using UML at all stages of software development.

The course enhances existing knowledge of UML, with a focus on the practical application of this object-oriented analysis language for government workflows. Participants will gain hands-on experience in utilizing UML to improve project management and system design processes, ensuring alignment with public sector governance and accountability standards.

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, as well as managing the resources utilized by these processes. Conducted within an agile enterprise framework, participants will learn to utilize appropriate BPMN notations and business extensions of UML to address their "business requirements" and guide underlying design activities coherently. This course is tailored to enhance the capabilities of business analysts in aligning with public sector workflows, governance, and accountability for government operations.

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.

Objective:

To assist analysts and designers in the System Engineering domain in effectively gathering requirements and progressing through the embedded software design implementation based on system specifications using UML 2 and SysML.

This three-day training is designed to support system analysts in clearly articulating their needs and enabling designers to create appropriate architectural designs for government systems based on these requirements.

The resulting system architecture enhances agility in the embedded system software, making it more adaptable to changes. It ensures coherent traceability from the business rules encapsulated in system functions to the usage choices (use cases) of end-users, all the way down to the software implementation level for government applications.

The course is designed for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers in the public sector. This workshop focuses on problem analysis, design, and documentation systems using UML and Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems. Throughout the training, participants will explore advanced capabilities of the program, such as MDA, profiles, and XMI, along with best practices that can significantly simplify and accelerate modeling processes for government. Since the training emphasizes the use of the Enterprise Architect tool, it is essential that participants already have a foundational knowledge of UML modeling. For those who need to learn UML, we offer dedicated training sessions specifically designed for this purpose.

The Training Method

The training method consists of 10% lecture and 90% hands-on workshop activities.
