structure functions, aggregate processes and elementary processes hierarchically - describe business activities in terms of the sequencing of work,
the interaction during performance of the work and the data that is involved. - use data/process interaction analysis to enhance and validate information models
- perform entity-relationship (ERD) data modeling techniques
- identify equivalencies across process modeling, data modeling and object modeling paradigms
- select, plan and utilize appropriate elicitation techniques including facilitating workshops.
Who should attend?
The course is intended for those wanting a quick start as Business Analysts or needing a comprehensive understanding of the role and aspect of the BA function
