Having a good set of requirements is not enough to have a design. During the functional analysis phase, the purpose and the boundaries of the system are defined. This produces a general design that gets the approval of the user. The next step is the transformation of this general design to a functional design. For a small application the functional analysis and the detailed functional design can be combined; but for bigger projects the two aspects are distinct and will be separated.

In this 3-day course you learn how to make a functional detailed design, starting from a global design or set of requirements. This facilitates the making of a technical design, which may even be superfluous in some environments.

• What is the value of a functional design
• What are the components of a functional design
• Communication inside and outside the project concerning the design
• Data model
• Process model
• Architecture
• Model case
• Use of UML and other methods and techniques

Classroom training with interactive exercises. The participants work in small groups on a model case.

Experience in an existing IT environment as application builder; or having experience as a functional analyst.

This training is meant for IT professionals with design experience, who are used to work in a project environment.
