This class runs as a private cohort on dates that suit your team, at your site or delivered live online. Tell us roughly when and how many people, and we'll come back with dates and a total.
Private delivery is usually faster and works out better per seat once you're past four or five people.

About this class
Business Analysis Modeling Essentials is not on the public schedule at the moment, and runs as a private cohort on dates you choose. Seats are $1,195 each over 2 days, courseware included. Tell us your dates and headcount and a quote comes back the same business day. Purchase orders welcome.
This course presents several common models to help you elicit and analyze requirements. You will practice analyzing, modeling, and reviewing the requirements as you work through an engaging case study. You will also learn and practice industry-standard modeling notation for each model. The models in this class follow the concurrent modeling framework, emphasizing process, data, interaction, and interface requirements. This simple framework will help you develop a quicker and more complete set of requirements.
This course has been approved for 14 PDUs | 14 CDUs
What you'll be able to do
- Identify common modeling techniques used by business analysts.
- Create a scope diagram to facilitate in-scope and out-of-scope discussions.
- Model business processes, creating “as-is” and “to-be” process maps.
- Develop a basic Entity-Relationship Diagram to model data requirements.
- Provide a narrative and produce a use case diagram to map out the various paths an actor may take to use the software

Participants should have worked on at least one software application project. No technical experience is necessary, but an understanding of applications development is helpful.
Who this is for
This course is for anyone who needs to know how to create the basic models most often used in software development and process improvement efforts. Participants in the course will learn the notation to create a scope model, process model, data model, use case diagram and narrative, and an interface prototype.
How reserving works. Your card is authorized, not charged. We confirm the seat with the training center, usually within one business day, and take payment only once it is held. If the class turns out to be full we release the authorization and you are not charged.
