Carroll School of Management
This course teaches the why and how of "business analysis" those activities an organization performs to ensure the success of an IT/software project. Students will learn how to consider the build-or-buy decision. We'll explore effective ways to capture and communicate requirements, including how to construct a visually appealing wireframe prototype. We'll cherry pick the most useful techniques from the Unified Modeling Language (UML), we'll demystify Agile and Scrum, we'll explore at a high level how applications are constructed, and we'll equip you to set any IT/software project on a successful path. This is not a coding course, and no coding experience is required. STEM-Designated.
