A specific set of techniques for business-oriented requirements engineering and object modelling will be conveyed. The second day will provide the chance to try out all the techniques in a simulated workshop atmosphere. The participants will build a complete model and prove that its satisfies the business objectives that they discover early on in the workshop. There is a choice between a pre-written problem or a suitable problem pertaining to their own work. All participants will receive a complete set of the visual aids used, supplementary materials and a copy of Ian Graham's book Object-Oriented Methods (Addison-Wesley 2001) which includes extensive coverage of requirements engineering and agile development best practices.
Duration: 3 days
