Business Process Analysis with UML and BPMN
14 HoursTarget Audience:
This course is designed for managers seeking to comprehend BPMN diagrams, as well as business consultants, analysts, process engineers, and system analysts who engage in the analysis and planning of business processes using standardized, unified modelling notation.
Course Objectives:
- Develop high-quality process diagrams
- Utilise BPMN process notation for modelling
- Document existing 'as-is' process information
- Implement optimised workflow flows for labour-intensive processes
- Break down complex process definitions into simpler, more manageable components
Design Patterns
14 HoursThere is a wealth of proven patterns readily accessible for everyone. Often, the challenge lies in adapting the nomenclature and implementing the pattern within a specific technology. This approach can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be consumed by design and testing efforts. Training Objectives This course has two primary objectives: first, it enables you to reuse widely-recognised patterns, and second, it empowers you to create and reuse patterns tailored to your organisation. It assists you in estimating how patterns can reduce costs, systematise the design process, and generate a code framework based on your patterns. Audience Software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers, developers, operational managers, and software division managers. Course Approach The course focuses on use cases and their relationship with a specific pattern. Most examples are explained in UML and in simple Java examples (the language can change if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the sources of the patterns as well as showing you how to catalogue and describe patterns which can be reused across your organisation.
