PRAGMATIC MODELLING USING UML AND BEYOND
A roadmap for modelling in everyday projects
2 Day Seminar
Speaker:
Sander Hoogendoorn
Pragmatic modelling
using UML is a highly interactive workshop where participants are taught
the use of the most important modelling techniques of UML and beyond. Participants
are led through a small software development project. The workshop demonstrates
a clear and pragmatic roadmap for modelling in projects. The workshop will answer
important questions such as which modelling techniques do I need? How do these
modelling techniques relate to each other? To what level of detail do I need
to model? Moreover, the participants are introduced to the role of modelling
in service oriented architecture (SOA), in agile projects, and in model driven
architecture (MDA).
Projects immediately benefit
from this workshop, as the practical guidelines, best practices and tips can
be applied at once to improve the quality of modelling, and the speed of development.
This workshop is targeted
at project managers, architects, technical leads, designers, developers and
even testers that are going to use, or are using UML modelling techniques in
projects. There are no specific pre-requisites, although some knowledge of OO
or UML might be preferred.
What modelling techniques
do I actually need in my projects?
How can I model use-case
effectively and pragmatically?
How are different modelling
techniques, such as use-cases, activity diagrams, class diagrams and sequence
diagrams related?
How can I apply modelling
to testing requirements and design?
How do I model class
diagrams?
What is the role of
modelling in service oriented architecture?
