Course Objectives
The Unified Management Language (UML) is a visual language for specifying, constructing and documenting the artefacts of systems. The UML standard is administered by the Object Management Group (OMG).
This course provides a rapid overview and introduction to the UML. In addition to describing the UML notation, the course explains underlying concepts and the application of the UML.
The course is suitable for a wide range of hands-on software developers and their managers. It provides an excellent refresher for experienced teams or an essential starting point for teams about to embark on their first UML project.
