Course description

Working with requirements involve a good understanding of the business domain, the language of users, clients and their business processes. Subsequently, we can already model the system itself using black-box and white-box approaches.

This course brings you theory and practical advice. We will show you how to connect analytical know-how with available technologies for high-quality information system analysis.

All these topics are discussed using UML and BPMN.
