Course Overview

Business Analysts must be able to illustrate how end users, stakeholders and related systems, will be affected once the new systems are implemented. Known as ‘Use Case Modelling’, this process allows you to model the entire business process from providing the necessary documentation, to identifying the systems interaction with the business goals, rules and decisions. Learn how to find the actors, the scope and the relationship between them and how to focus on users’ needs whilst providing traceability. Through interactive exercises, you will practice writing the alternate/exception flows, read class diagrams and gain the ability to integrate Use Cases within the software development life-cycle.
