EA and UML for Business Analysis

Enterprise Architect, UML, SysML, BPMN and ArchiMate

Home > EA > EA and UML for Business Analysis

This course is designed for business analysts who are new to UML and Enterprise Architect. Delegates are taught how to create UML models to understand business processes and capture end user requirements. This course is highly practical with many hands-on sessions in Enterprise Architect.

Duration:	3 days
Prerequisites:	No prior Enterprise Architect or UML experience is required. A background in business analysis is helpful.
Equipment:		For on-site course delivery the customer should provide a suitable training room with a projector to connect to our trainer's laptop and a whiteboard or flipchart. All delegates require access to a PC or laptop running Enterprise Architect.
		For webinar training sessions delegates will need access to a PC or laptop with VoIP (or telephone) running Enterprise Architect to take part in the webinar. A trial version of Enterprise Architect is fine for training purposes and can be downloaded from Sparx Systems website: www.sparxsystems.com/products/ea/trial.html
Course Style:	45% theory, 55% practical. Each module is accompanied by a hands-on session to allow delegates to apply the theory and become confident using Enterprise Architect.
Delegate Handouts:	Each delegate receives a folder containing all the course slides and comprehensive theory notes which form excellent reference material. Suggested solutions are provided for all hands-on sessions. Following successful completion of the course each delegate will receive a certificate.
