Functional analysis

The customer's wishes are not always clear enough to design a system straight away. This training will teach you to make the translation of a customer's requirement into the eventual system run smoother, with less faults.

During the course all aspects of designing a system are trained, from the first requirement to the final system design. Theory on designing systems and design phases will be trained thoroughly. The training is based on the LAD-method (Linear Application Development).

After the course attendees will be able to describe and analyse the customer's requirements better, and will also be able to translate this into a system that can be built accordingly. This will reduce the risk of faults. Preventing faults in this stage will prevent a project to be out of control.

Schedule

No public sessions are currently scheduled. We will be pleased to set up an on-site course or to schedule an extra public session (in case of a sufficient number of candidates). Interested? Please let us know.

Intended for

This training is meant for professionals with some design experience, who desire to design high quality systems.

Background

Project experience is useful as is knowing a design tool and its use.

Main topics

  • Introduction
  • Introduction participants
  • Introduction training, course objectives
  • Structure of the IT-client consultation
  • Theory of functional analysis and design basics
  • Data model
  • Design of the data model of case 1
  • Elaboration of the design technique, adaptations of the architecture
  • Normalization of the global data model.

  • Description of interface design for the new system, Enterprise Service Bus, Architecture
  • Further elaboration of the process model of case 1
  • Combining the process model and the data model
  • Introduction
  • Testing the global model (data model/process model)
  • Testing of systems: what has to be done, what makes sense, what is less important, explanation
  • Combining the process model and the data model.
  • Adapting the data models of case 1 and case 2 based on the process model
  • Rounding-off

Training method

Classroom training with interactive exercises. Attendees work in small groups on a systems design, that will be built up from the customer's requirements up to the end report. During the training 2 case studies are used.

Duration

4 days.
