Picturing Architecture: UML (The Good Bits) and More

Description

In this course, you will :

• See how to use index cards to effectively represent and organise stories.
• Learn how to represent and organise stories, as well as how to design them.
• Learn how to represent complex activity flows, translate those flows into a messaging system, organise and represent your system's classes, and represent an object's behaviour when that behaviour changes with state.
• Discover Story Cards, Story Maps, CRC-card walls (a system created by the author), and a version of UML optimised for the whiteboard and adapted to modern Agile practise.
• By the end of this course, you will be able to use images to effectively communicate your programme to others within the Agile environment.
