Business Process Modelling with UML

Course Overview
A business model is an abstraction of how a business functions. It models the processes, organization and events of a business. A business model can describe how a business functions today or how we plan for it to function in the future. Most importantly we model businesses to inform a systems development project about the processes, business objects, and business rules to be automated.

This course teaches how to create business models using the Unified Modelling Language (UML).

What will I learn?

• Model business structure using UML class / object diagrams
• Model business processes using UML activity diagrams
• Model the states of business objects using UML statecharts
• Model the interactions and messages between business objects using UML sequence and collaboration diagrams
• Model business processes using the Eriksson-Penker extensions to the UML and learn how they fit into the different business views
• Time permitting, some business patterns are introduced

Course Style
