Calling all prospective Systems Developers and Business Analysts! Does the idea of gaining an overview of the issues and concepts involved in developing quality solutions that satisfy business requirements by using Agile approaches sound appealing to you? If the answer’s yes, then this Systems Development Essentials course is for you.
You’ll study a number of systems development life cycles, both defined and evolutionary, and examine the context in which different lifecycles could be applied before focusing on an Agile approach.
Some of the key areas we’ll look at include examining how the systems development effort can be organised, understanding requirements, stakeholders and roles in an agile environment and considering techniques that support iterative development such as prototyping, hothousing and scenarios.
During this three day course you’ll receive all the training you need to prepare for the BCS Systems Development Essentials certificate examination, which is held on the final afternoon of the course. A pass means you’re another step closer to achieving the BCS International Diploma in Solution Development.
Incidentally, the course is also a specialist option for the BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis and is approved as consistent with the IIBA BABoK version 3.0. It also supports SFIA skills Prog, level 5.
