The Business World is much behind other engineering industries mostly because there is no language by which business analysts can describe business processes.
Primitive flowcharts described workflow but were very far from useful because they were not of the right form or conformity to fit the required standards and practical applications at many times, making them very complex and leading to various projects not meeting their objectives.
This 3-day workshop presented by Professor Akram Najjar, from June 26th till the 28th, presented the fundamentals of business modeling then proceeded to train the participants on the use of the Unified Modeling Language, a modern day standard in the IT Industry.
These concepts are the solutions to the problems mentioned before, since the purposes of UML were explained. Some of the ways discussed were companies can use UML were developing procedure manuals, analyzing requirements of administrative and information systems, preparing technical terms of reference for software applications, system documentation, and training manuals, modeling systems in various needed ways, and preparing the technical and functional specification documents for software design. The Participants gave excellent feedback on the workshop and gained PMI points for taking part in it.
