UML Essentials for Agile Development Training

Course 935

  • Duration: 2 days
  • Language: English
  • Level: Intermediate

Teams adopting Agile software development approaches could jump immediately from conversations to coding. However, the critical steps of modeling and thinking should not be skipped because although the software is delivered quickly, it is poorly architected. Unified Modeling Language (UML) has had a reputation for being document heavy and therefore rejected. This UML Essentials for Agile Development Training reverses that mindset and shows you how UML can be integral to any Agile process. This is a course not just for programmers but all members of an Agile team looking to communicate more effectively. If you’ve experienced sprint deliverables not meeting customer expectations, we can help you better communicate the fundamental architecture and design decisions in a visual, industry-standard format.
