EXBA 5689 - Analyzing Processes, Information and People

This course will explore various analysis and modelling techniques to better understand the requirements associated with people, processes, and information elements in a business context. Basic business modelling tools such as organization models, workflow models and swim-lane diagrams are used to explore solution requirements.

Various methodologies are used to set a framework for analysis.

By the end of this course, students should be able to:

• 🗸 Explain the foundational elements associated with analyzing requirements.
• 🗸 Select and apply appropriate techniques to analyze people, processes and information effectively.
