Although there is no
"one size fits all" answer for how to use the
Unified Modeling Language (UML) for Object-Oriented
Analysis and Design, there are many common questions
which most organizations need to ask themselves before
reaching a decision on its usage.
This presentation outlines the factors considered and the
decisions made by a group of OOAD instructors/mentors
when they determined how and to what extent they would
use the UML notation as part of their business practice.
Topics include:
-- Notation vs.
Process
-- Using the UML with a Blended OO Methodology |
-- Transitory vs.
Permanent Documentation
-- UML Issues and Concerns |
