COURSE INTRODUCTION
This course introduces the concepts of business process modeling using Unified
Modeling Language (UML) with the help of Rationale Rose and Visio. Further, this
course emphasizes on the core set of skills that all analyst need to know irrespective
of the approach or methodology. Also, this course is incorporated with the exciting
changes in the form of object oriented approach to system design. Furthermore the

aims to guide the students to solve systematic problem that may impair the
sustainable operation of an organization. .
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
LO1: Demonstrate an understanding of Unified Modeling Language (UML) and
its types and different structured methodologies
LO2: Explain methods for modeling to analyze organizational processes
LO3: Evaluate various business process modeling to solve the organizational
problems
