UML Essentials

Course Overview
This workshop is a thorough presentation of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and includes practical advice on effective usage in development projects and is suitable for business analysts and developers.

What will I learn?

The UML Essentials workshop is a fast-paced mixture of hands-on modeling exercises and lecture. The workshop is designed to give participants a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of building UML models - developing and analyzing diagrams as well as learning to use UML to maximize communication.

Workshop instructors walk you through the process of building diagrams with UML, starting with samples that you build and moving into modeling your specific domain.

While the workshop is not process-specific, it includes examples of how the diagrams are used with different processes. The workshop consists most of pencil-and-paper sessions which will complement the visual-aided lecture and enable delegates to apply the skills being taught.
