This book explains how, as an IT business analyst, you can pull together all of the UML tools and fully utilize them during your IT project. Rather than approaching this topic theoretically, you will actually learn by doing: A case study takes you through the entire book, helping you to develop and validate the requirements for an IT system step by step. Whether you are a new IT business analyst; an experienced analyst, but new to the UML; a developer who is interested in expanding your role to encompass IT business-analysis activities; or any other professional tasked with requirements gathering or the modeling of the business domain on a project, you'll be trained and mentored to work efficiently on UML projects in an easy-to-understand and visual manner. This new edition has been completely updated for UML 2.2, and includes coverage of all the relevant new BABOK 2 knowledge areas. The new edition also covers various lifecycle approaches (non-empirical, empirical, waterfall, iterative, and agile) and their impact on the way project steps are carried out. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

A great structure for the inital phases of a ProjectOct 11, 2010
By Aaron
This book really helped me prioritise the sequence of events for the requirements gathering phase. It also confirmed which diagrams should be used with which documentation. I found that it helped organised my thinking, and gave me confidence that I was focusing on the correct diagrams and documentation and the correct stages.
I found it an easy read and the case study links together with the text well. Make sure you do the case study examples as you go, then do it again from scratch after you have finished reading to make it all fall into place.
A great book that focuses on the initial phases, sometimes getting started is the hardest part. This book really help me with that.

My students found the material well organized, and this book made the topics accessible to the newcomer. I plan to use it again in the upcoming school year. Further, when you consider the average price of many textbooks and what the student gets out of them, this one is very reasonable in that regards.

 Pretty goodApr 23, 2011
By Sharon Conger
"jcwoman"
This book is well-laid out and presents the information in a logical way. The case study is also easy to follow and helpful. The only thing I feel is lacking in this book is space for you to try the case study exercises. It would make a smashing workbook!
