Formerly INTRODUCTION TO STRUCTURED DESIGN
 
COURSE LENGTH: 3 Days
 
APPLICABLE TO: Information Architect Certificate (Core Class #4)
 
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
 
This course is designed for business and technical experts
that want to learn the basics of structured design.
 
PREREQUISITES:
 
Successful completion of the courses MODELING ESSENTIAL BUSINESS
PROCESSES, DISCOVERING ESSENTIAL BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS, and
MODELING ESSENTIAL BUSINESS DATA.
 
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS: This course presents the basics of the Yourdon
system Method (YSM) approach to the design of business systems.
It covers the creation of a new system Implementation Model from the
System Essential Model that was created during structured analysis.
The three steps of structured design are defined and the various
views that make up the SIM are created and documented using physical
data flow diagrams, structure charts, pseudo-code, and a metadata
repository. Hands-on workshops using a JAD format are used to
reinforce concepts and are based upon the business that was presented
in the course MODELING ESSENTIAL BUSINESS PROCESSES.
 
COURSE OBJECTIVES:Upon successful completion of this course, the stud-
should be able to:
 
. Explain the YSM structured design process and define the three steps
  of YSM structured design.
 
. Determine the technology architecture that offers the best
  implementation options for the essential events, essential
  activities and essential data contained in the SEM, which consti-
  tutes the essential requirements of a business system.
 
. Transform the System Essential Model (SEM) into the new System
  Implementation Model using physical data flow diagrams,
  structure charts, and a metadata repository.
 
. Identify the inputs to physical database design and the
  application's requirements for indexing.
