The

Essential Modelling 

Workshop for

Business Analysts


Description


What are the different modelling techniques business analysts should know about? We will discuss and compare the most important modelling techniques used by BAs. For each model, we will answer three questions: what is it a model of? what questions does it answer? and what does the notation look like? The workshop will equip the participants to select the right model for each situation and decide what models they should add to their personal toolkit. During the hands-on exercises participants will learn to create a few important models.



Format


The workshop will take place at the Marriott Hotel near Yonge and Bloor in Toronto. It begins at 9am and runs until 4pm. The participants will work in groups of 3 to 5 people to develop their modelling skills. The aim is to have at least 50% of the time devoted to hands-on exercises and discussions.
