Business Analysis in Sparx EA - practical workshop

The Business Analysis in Sparx EA course is intended for those who already know the basics of business analysis and want to really try out the entire analytical procedure in practice. During the training, you will work with a specific assignment from the customer and step by step convert it into a structured analytical model in the Sparx Enterprise Architect tool.

You will learn to capture requirements, describe the business domain, model processes, use cases, states and system components and correctly connect them so that the model makes sense to the business and IT team. The course also includes work with traceability, validation rules and other elements that are important for a high-quality information system design.

• Maximum practice, minimum theory – the entire course is based on modeling a specific business case
• Work directly in Enterprise Architect – you don't just leave with theory, but with your own analytical model
• Connecting business, processes and systems – you will learn to see connections, not just individual diagrams
• Lecturers from real projects – experience in business analysis, architecture and project management
• Immediate applicability in practice – you will use the outputs in IS analysis, solution design and communication with the IT team

• ability to work in Sparx Enterprise Architect at a basic level
• be able to create a project, create a package and prepare a simple diagram
• knowledge of basic concepts such as use case, class, activity
• previous completion of the Basics of Business Analysis course or equivalent practice is an advantage

This course is suitable for participants who already have a theoretical basis and want to move on to practical modeling and creation of analytical outputs in a real context.

• business analysts with basic modeling knowledge
• IT analysts and solution/design analysts
• Members of project teams involved in the design of information systems
• Specialists who want to work in Enterprise Architect more efficiently and systematically
• Anyone who wants to verify whether they are doing business analysis correctly and according to best practices

📅  Day 1

• analysis of the customer's assignment and clarification of requirements
• modeling of the business domain and the basic set of requirements
• modeling of business processes in the context of IS development
• creation of a use case model and definition of the system boundary
• continuous connection of model elements to maintain traceability

 
📅  Day 2

• modeling of states, screens and screenflow
• design of system components and their responsibilities
• modeling of interactions between components
• supplementation of validation rules and communication elements
• completion of the own analytical model and summary of outputs

Study materials are included in the course price. You will receive practical Pumpedu materials summarizing the key principles, tools, and methods covered during the training, so you can easily apply them in practice even after the course.

• take the assignment from the customer and convert it into a structured analysis
• model the business domain, processes and requirements
• create use case models, state diagrams and component models
• design links between elements so that the traceability of requirements is maintained
• describe the interactions of system components and add validation and communication elements
• create your own analytical model in UML and BPMN

What is Sparx Enterprise Architect and what is it used for in business analysis?
Sparx Enterprise Architect is a tool for modeling business processes, requirements, and system components, in which analysts create structured analytical documentation. The course shows how to convert real-world requirements into a model that makes sense to the business and IT team.

What knowledge do I need before taking the Sparx EA Business Analysis course?
You need to be able to create a project in Enterprise Architect, create a package and prepare a simple diagram, including knowledge of basic concepts such as use case or class. It is also an advantage to have previously completed a basic business analysis course or relevant practice.

What will I take away from the Sparx EA Business Analysis course for practice?
You will take away your own ready-made analytical model in UML and BPMN, which you created yourself during the course, not just a theoretical overview of the tool. The outputs can be used directly in the analysis of information systems, the design of solutions or communication with the IT team.
