Agile Modeling with UML

Agile Modeling with UML

Course Summary

Are you looking for ways to facilitate the communication with colleagues and stakeholders, making it to-the-point, graphic in both respects? Or, are you already walking the fine line between TAGRI (“They ain’t gonna read it”) and absence of a concise overview?

 

The Agile Modeling course will:

  • Deepen your understanding of the fundamentals in agile modeling and its benefits
  • Show how fundamental UML diagram types fit into and complement each other
  • Teach you how to produce lean drawings from requirements, and to build robust, extensible, portable, concisely documented systems
  • Stay technology-neutral, avoiding solutions tied to a particular language or environment, and emphasize exercises, teamwork and communication in small groups (rather than explore tools or methodologies)
  • Take 2 days, in contrast to its initial 4-day version.
  • Developers/programmers, modelers, designers, analysts, architects, testers, PMs, technical managers, and other stakeholders, especially in agile projects interested in models, abstraction, the Unified Modeling Language (UML), objects, or model driven development.
  • Devs new to the role, as well as experienced seniors who want to add structure and clarity to their work.

Basic general knowledge of systems development, or of object orientation. Experience as an IT developer, or similar, is optional yet useful.
