Overview
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.
- 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?

Audience
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.
