Planning, Risk and Estimation for Business Analysts Using OO Concepts and Use Cases Training
Course Description
Planning, Risk and Estimation for Business Analysts will give the student the step-by-step methodology for successful application of Object Oriented techniques to Business Analysis. By learning and applying these OO techniques, the student will dramatically improve his/her ability to deliver quality Analysis on time and in budget. By appropriately applying the OO process and business re-use techniques, up to 60% of each application developed can be used in future projects, saving even more time and money.
