Course Overview
In
many organizations, business analysts play the role of understanding
and expressing business requirements for applications and systems.
These requirements overlap with what architects need in order to
undertake the architecting process effectively.
This
workshop is designed to help business analysts and product
requirements teams understand enough about
architecture and the architecting process to be effective partners
with architects in establishing architectural requirements. The
workshop also covers techniques for requirements capture that equip
business analysts to collect requirements in a format that is most
useful for architects.
Benefits
The
course helps business analysts become stronger and more effective
partners for architects, providing useful input to the architecting
process. This means that systems will be better specified, better
architectures will be created, and ultimately more useful capability
will be delivered to the business.
Workshop Format
This 2-day class
is conducted as a workshop, with small teams working through a case
study. We also draw on stories from our experience,
and large-group graphical facilitation, to help enliven and enrich this
workshop format.
Audience
This workshop is
designed for business analysts and product requirements teams, and their
managers.
