UML Business Analysis

Business Requirements Modelling

We all know that "there is not such think as an IT project". At the end, the business should be advanced through the project, while IT should be able to choose the best strategy that may include developing code, modifying an existing system, integrating third-party systems or components or implementation of a COTS package.

Business Abstraction's produces Computation-Independent UML Business Requirements, that capture all Business information without presuming any implementation details. UML and our modelling skills allow us to capture and verify information without working with a specific implementation.

We apply interactive techniques like Business Modelling Workshops, and have a proven track record of working directly with high-level business executives that was made possible by our ability to capture a lot of information in a 2-hour session.

We significantly reduce the costs of Business Analysis activities, by replacing industry-standard 3-months documentation-writing assignments with several days of interactive workshops and UML modelling. Even more significant costs savings are delivered though providing IT staff with an ability to implement most effective, elegant and cost-effective solution.

UML Functional Specifications

UML can be used to provide detailed specifications integrating input from Enterprise Information Architects, Usability Experts, Web Interface Designers, as well as prescribed processes and procedures, regulatory requirements and existing functionality. Cost of producing specifications of that level is often comparable with the cost of developing the solution, however they often get all but ignored by developers.

Business Abstraction can apply UML to dramatically reduce the cost end effort of producing detailed specifications, while at the same time ensuring their usability. Our UML-based specifications are prepared for Designer to apply Use Case Driven Design and other advanced approaches. Embedded UML traceability makes solution verification, testing and later maintenance much easier.

Implementing UML Business Analysis

UML Business Analysis is a low-cost, high-productivity alternative to traditional specification writing, however it introduction is slowed by two common obstacles: high cost of modelling software that is hard to justify for non-technical people, and limited understanding of Object Modelling by BAs. Business Abstraction routinely eliminates these problems by providing very effective low-cost software, as well as specialist UML Business Analysis training that consistently delivers impressive modelling skills to non-technical staff.

UML Business Analysis with Enterprise Architect 6.1 ( 4 days)

The course delivers advanced knowledge in application of UML to Business Analysis. It concentrates on practical aspects of using UML within an enterprise environment, working within complex enterprise models, modelling for various project arrangements, as well as communication with business and domain experts in UML.
