  • Create project-initiation diagrams including business use cases, activity diagrams, workflow diagrams, flowcharts
  • Determine project scope and derive context diagrams and project use cases from the business diagrams

  • Create high level analysis dataflow diagrams, domain class diagrams, and entity-relationship diagrams from the use cases or other high level diagrams
  • Recognize and understand the various design models, including the other relevant types of UML diagrams, detailed design entity-relationship diagrams, and decomposed dataflow diagrams
  • Determine when to use which modeling technique, following them through a project life cycle, and understand which diagrams are derived from others
  • Understand the basic concepts of normalization and decomposition so can converse intelligently on the topic and review diagrams that have been normalized or decomposed

    RE: What analysis and modeling techniques do you use to translate business objectives into system requirements?
    When the Business Obectives are set then BA makes a Requirements documentation in which the analysis is done by various techniques like
    Stakeholder interview Goals JRD sessions prototypes usecases SRS Stake holders intrest and issues and Attempted soltions.

    MOdelling techniques is the next step after the requirements is done by UML used for functional or logical view code view or development or structural view.
