Effective Use Case Development - IIBA Endorsed Training
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Without proper capture of requirements software projects have a high probability of failure. This 2-day course presents the use case technique that has become a norm for capturing functional requirements in object-oriented projects, yet can be used just as successfully with procedural development projects. Structured around a problem-driven approach, students will learn use case techniques and concepts in a "just-in-time" manner, emphasizing the semantics of each technique and not just its notation. Numerous examples, and two parallel case studies let students see how a concept is described in a use case model, and then immediately apply their understanding.
This course is designed to provide students with intensive, practical training in the concepts of requirements specification through use cases. During the course the students write at least three non-trivial use cases. At course completion, students will have a comprehensive understanding of use cases, how to write useful and effective use cases, and both their value and limitations in either procedural or object-oriented development life cycles.
NOTE: If you are a Project Management Professional (PMP)® certified by the Project Management Institute (PMI), you can earn Professional Development Units (PDUs) by attending this IconATG course.
