EAM-Initiative : ArchiMate® - 0 views

  • Advantages & Disadvantages of ArchiMate®
  • One advantage of ArchiMate® is that it enables the visualization of architectures on separate layers but also allows the depiction of cross-layer relationships
  • Additionally, ArchiMate® provides extensive list of enterprise architecture entities, a predefined meta-model, some simplified standard views and publicly available, comprehensive documentation. Also, tool support for modeling the enterprise architecture using this architecture description language is available
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • A downside of ArchiMate® is that there is a limited extensibility of the modeling language. Further, some concepts are ambiguous [BBL12] and modelers need training to apply the framework successfully. Finally, when implementing ArchiMate®, a terminology mapping assigning existing concepts to the ArchiMate concept needs to be conducted

The PMI-PBA vs. IIBA CBAP or CCBA - 0 views

  • Through the new practice guide and PMI-PBA certification, PMI will drive an awareness of the role globally that IIBA® has simply not had the resources to do
  • To obtain a PMI-PBA, first you complete an application that verifies you meet the following requirements: Minimum of 3 years (4,500 hours) of business analysis experience within the past 8 consecutive years if you have a bachelor’s degree. (Or 5 years/7500 hours of experience if you do not.) (For comparison, the CBAP® requires 7,500 hours of experience and the CCBA® 3,750.) 2,000 hours working on project teams within the past eight consecutive years. 35 business analysis education (contact hours).

Hightech Events: Scrum - 0 views

  • Scrum works very fine within small teams, adding new functionality in an incremental way. But how to transform traditional developers into a scrum way of working and how to align the multiple teams? How to maintain piles of legacy code? And how to go about solving the specific issues the high tech industry has with Agile? The session ‘Scrum is not enough!’ will give an overview of these challenges and presents best practices to address them.

FAQ | IT-Staffing - 0 views

  • Welke kennis wordt veel gevraagd? Antwoord: IT-ers met kennis van Cisco, Oracle, Java, SAP, Peoplesoft, testen, informatie analyse zijn gewild en kunnen over het algemeen snel aan opdracht geholpen worden. Ook andere expertises zijn over het algemeen prima in te zetten.

DREAM event - 1 views

  • Welkom bij het DREAM Event Atos Origin organiseert op dinsdag 9 maart 2010 voor de tweede keer het Dutch Requirements Engineering and Management event. Het event is open voor de gehele Requirements community; voor iedereen die werkt met specificaties.
  • Hartelijk welkom op de website van DREAM (Dutch Requirements Engineering And Management). In 2014 is al voor de 5de maal het DREAM event succesvol georganiseerd (zie hier een terugblik op de afgelopen events). We willen ook de komende jaren een bijdrage blijven leveren aan het verder verspreiden van de kennis en het begrip betreffende alles wat te maken heeft met requirements; van business rules tot en met user stories, van functioneel ontwerp tot en met modellen van bedrijfsprocessen.

Alistair.Cockburn.us | Use cases, ten years later - 1 views

  • Is a use case a requirement or just a story? Is a scenario just another name for a use case? Is a use case a formal, semi-formal, or informal structure? Is there a linking structure for use cases, or do they just come in piles?
  • make use cases “rigorous
  • People want a fairly informal medium in which to express their early thoughts
  • ...28 more annotations...
  • handling all the variations a system must handle.
  • Using these semi-formal structures, we can both Assert that use cases really are requirements and need a basic structure, and also Allow people to write whatever they want when they need to.
  • Here is the semi-formal structure
  • Linking use cases to actors’ goals
  • If the software supports those goals, the software will yield the greatest business value.
  • goals sometimes fail
  • failure handling
  • Therefore, a use case is structured into two sections: the sequence of actions when everything goes well, followed by various small sequences describing what happens when the various goals and subgoals fail.
  • Why do we write things in the use case that are not externally visible behaviors?
  • contract between stakeholders
  • Here are four key pieces of advice that you should note from the evolution of use cases.
  • there remained a split between those who still wanted to keep use cases short and informal and those who wanted them to be detailed
  • The Stakeholders and Interests model fills the holes in the Actors and Goals model
  • Prepare for Multiple Formats
  • Only Use Them When the Form is Appropriate
  • Be Aware of Use Case Limits
  • Use cases should not be used to describe UI designs
  • use case is normally intended as a requirements document, and the UI design is a design
  • The same system feature is likely to show up as a line item in multiple use cases
  • Use cases have a basic mismatch with feature lists
  • Use cases are not test plans or test cases
  • Avoid the Standard Mistakes in Use Cases
  • The two most common and most costly to the project are including too many details and including UI specifics
  • it’s just that by the time I get subgoals at a good level and remove the design specifics, the task is less than nine step
  • The greatest value of the use case does not lie in the main scenario, but in alternative behaviors
  • If the main scenario is between three and nine steps long, the total use case might only be two or three pages long, which is long enough.
  • readable use cases might actually get read

Alistair.Cockburn.us | Why I still use use cases - 1 views

  • XP pretty much banned use cases, replacing them with the similar sounding “user stories”
  • Scrum did similar, using the “product backlog” instead of user stories
  • Yet as I go around projects, I keep running across organizations suffering from three particular, real, painful, and expensive problems
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • User stories and backlog items don’t give the designers a context to work from
  • don’t give the project team any sense of “completeness
  • don’t provide a good-enough mechanism for looking ahead at the difficulty of upcoming work
  • Staring at the set of extension conditions in a use case lets the analysts suss out which ones will be easy and which will be difficult, and to stage their research accordingly
  • Here 5 reasons why I still write use cases
  • The list of goal names provides executives with the shortest summary of what the system will contribute to the business and the users
  • The main success scenario of each use case provides everyone involved with an agreement as to what the system will basically do, also, sometimes more importantly, what it will not do.
  • The extension conditions of each use case provide the requirements analysts a framework for investigating all the little, niggling things that somehow take up 80% of the development time and budget
  • The use case extension scenario fragments provide answers to the many detailed, often tricky business questions
  • The full use case set shows that the investigators have throught through every user’s needs, every goal they have with respect to the system, and every business variant involved
  • how much should be written up front to get the project estimate into a safe place
  • several sticky parts for people using use cases
  • iteration/sprint lengths are so short that it is not practical to implement an entire use case in just one of them.
  • Writing good use cases (or any other requirements) requires thinking, communicating, and thinking again. It is much easier just to write user-story tags on index cards and let the project blow up later
  • We have adopted many of the concepts of Agile development—such as daily build and test, build the smallest piece of functionality that delivers value, etc.—but have retained our up-front work. It’s worked extremely well

Alistair.Cockburn.us | A user story is the title of one scenario whereas a use case is ... - 0 views

  • As a … I want… so that…” is a new-fangled user story format. The original XP user story format had no rules, so you could simply highlight any phrase in a use case and call it a user story. Personally, I feel sorry for anyone who has to write “As a… I want… so that…” for 200 user stories. Kind of like being kept after school and having to write “I will not write silly user stories in class” 100 times
  • A use case pretty much by definition contains multiple stories. A use case is a collection of scenarios related to the primary actor’s goal – some scenarios show the actor interacting with the system and the system interacting with other systems so that they succeed with the goal, some show failure. That’s all in the nature of a use case. see Structuring use cases with goals (discussion: Re: Structuring use cases with goals) from 1995. A use case written for this will occupy between half a page for a shortish one to 2 pages for a long one. A user story is a nickname for a single scenario – it contains neither the information content of the scenario nor failure or alternate paths. A user story typically occupies 1/2 to one sentence no matter its size.
  • (p.s. Agile was supposed to reduce bureaucracy and overhead, not add to it. :) Alistair
