Business Analysis Techniques Using the Sparx Enterprise Architect Tool

Sparx Enterprise Architect for Business Analysts

Introduction

Enterprise Architect is a multi-user, graphical tool designed to help teams build robust and maintainable systems. With built-in requirements management capabilities, Enterprise Architect helps the user to trace high-level specifications to analyse, design, implement, test and maintain models using UML, SysML, BPMN and other open standards.

Course Description

This three-day course will provide the tools and techniques which are vital for effective business analysis using Sparx Enterprise Architect. The course will cover some of the basic modelling conventions used in Sparx Enterprise Architect, and will delve into the specific techniques used to execute a comprehensive analysis of a business problem. A real life case study will be analysed and through practical exercises the participants will model the behavioral requirement of the system in the form of business use cases, activity diagrams, role maps, entity states and more. Structural requirement analysis will also be addressed through practical exercises using entity classes, generalizations, whole/part relationships, transient roles and more.

The techniques that are demonstrated in the practicals are relevant in both agile and waterfall approaches type projects.
