Learning Use Cases, UML and JAD Techniques - 3 Days
Description
The Learning Use Cases, UML and JAD Techniques Training Seminar provides training in the methodology needed for capturing and modeling the artifacts for Object-Oriented and Legacy System development. The class provides a life cycle and techniques used for IT process improvement using use cases and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The seminar focus is on how to:
- Write use cases and build requirements and design models using the Unified Modeling Language
- Implement a repeatable process for project initiation, requirements definition, analysis and design
Each participant receives document templates, a JAD Procedures Guide and a Seminar Handbook. Maximum of 10 students. To schedule on-site training call (203) 322-1606 or e-mail us at wpierson@piersonapp.com.
Objectives
The objectives of the seminar are to:
- Provide an understanding of the Software Life Cycle, methodology steps and artifacts needed for Object-Oriented Development and Legacy System Projects
- Provide practical group exercises for building UML artifacts using the UML notations
- Define the Rapid Application Development Process, describe spiral vs. waterfall method, success factors and how to plan projects using an iterative and incremental approach
- Provide a JAD simulation of UML artifacts and how they are used throughout the project life cycle to implement a repeatable process

Day 3
|
JAD Process Simulation |
| |
The JAD simulation demonstrates how the entire life cycle of a project fits together and how the artifacts taught in class build on each other. Each student leads the group in a stage of the life cycle using the scoping, requirements gathering and design artifacts. Agendas for leading the group are provided. In addition, each student will document to demonstrate an understanding of the documentation process. In-house UML tools may also be used in the simulation, if desired. |
