Today, information-technology business analysts are often working on object-oriented (OO), Unified Modeling Language (UML) projects, yet they have a long way to go to exploit the technology beyond the adoption of use cases (just one part of the UML). This book explains how, as an IT business analyst, you can pull together all of the UML tools and fully utilize them during your IT project. Rather than approaching this topic theoretically, you will actually learn by doing: A case study takes you through the entire book, helping you to develop and validate the requirements for an IT system step by step. Whether you are a new IT business analyst; an experienced analyst, but new to the UML; a developer who is interested in expanding your role to encompass IT business-analysis activities; or any other professional tasked with requirements gathering or the modeling of the business domain on a project, you’ll be trained and mentored to work efficiently on UML projects in an easy-to-understand and visual manner. This new edition has been completely updated for UML 2.2, and includes coverage of all the relevant new BABOK 2 knowledge areas. The new edition also covers various lifecycle approaches (non-empirical, empirical, waterfall, iterative, and agile) and their impact on the way project steps are carried out.

Format:Paperback
This book has a good base for people to learn about UML but it is not well written. The flow of the book often means you have to read sections several times before you can understand how it fits in. I have also noticed various typo's throughout the book which only add to the confusion it can create. There are far better books to learn about the system development life cycle out there but unfortunately they are more expensive. I guess you get what you pay for!

A great structure for the inital phases of a Project

This book really helped me prioritise the sequence of events for the requirements gathering phase. It also confirmed which diagrams should be used with which documentation. I found that it helped organised my thinking, and gave me confidence that I was focusing on the correct diagrams and documentation and the correct stages.
I found it an easy read and the case study links together with the text well. Make sure you do the case study examples as you go, then do it again from scratch after you have finished reading to make it all fall into place.
A great book that focuses on the initial phases, sometimes getting started is the hardest part. This book really help me with that.

Well Received

Format:Paperback
My students found the material well organized, and this book made the topics accessible to the newcomer. I plan to use it again in the upcoming school year. Further, when you consider the average price of many textbooks and what the student gets out of them, this one is very reasonable in that regards.
