Requirement Analysis, Abstraction & Designs

The focus of Design 1000 is to get you started confidently & competently creating the type of diagrams that you will need to use to start documenting ideas as quickly as possible. In Design 1000 you will learn how to use the most common diagramming flows, symbols, and techniques to allow you to share your ideas easily & professionally with others.

In this educational opportunity you will also discover how common Flowcharting shapes are re-used by UML's Activity Diagrams (AD.) -Rather than being overly concerned with the differences, in Design 1000: Boxes & Bubbles you will learn how to use the common Flowcharting & AD flows & symbols that all professionals understand.

While documentation standards and illustration conventions have their particularities, from cave-paintings to modern Storyboards, and UML - what the designing-world needs now is a lot less intimidation... and a lot more collaboration! So as a bonus, in Design 1000 you will review both the UML Use Case basics as well as my own Boxes and Bubbles diagraming techniques. During this 1-hour educational opportunity you will complete several activities. Hands-on practice exercises working with well-known banking & commuting activities. Understandable actors and scenarios that will help you learn how to detect common re-use opportunities.

Indeed, when professionally documenting project requirements I have discovered that sharing a community-understood diagram will indeed save many from reading well over 1000 words. From money & banking to the workings of common inheritance, humanity shares far more best practices than most design students usually appreciate.

Sharing tenured advice on how to avoid undo criticism, to industrial-savvy advice on how to manage your own documentation creation & design life-cycles, Design 1000: Introduction to Requirement Analysis & Design is designed to encourage you to become more confident in sharing your ideas with others!
