This workshop is designed to enable departmental users and managers to understand the role they play in specifying requirements and reviewing models and prototypes during the systems development life cycle. Participants will learn and practice quality assurance and feedback techniques. For clients using Oracle Designer, participants will also learn how they can interact with these Oracle-specific techniques for best results.

What Do Participants Gain?

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to offer significant corrections and confirmation of entity-relationship models, function hierarchies, process models and/or data flow diagrams, and to provide quality assurance in preparation for systems design.

Who Should Attend?

Project leaders, departmental users and managers who are responsible for specifying or approving systems analysis and design efforts. Other project members, including designers and database administrators, can also benefit.

The Workshop Approach

We help you apply these techniques and skills to models from your own current development project, avoiding a canned case study. The last day of the workshop serves as a group walkthrough for quality assurance of the data and function models prepared to date for your development project, with summary recommendations for completion.

Timeline and Content

This workshop can be performed in three to five days, depending on the number of users and the scope of the assignment. A list of the topics and tasks involved is available on request.
