Design 1000: Requirement & Documentation Fast-Path
Common Documentation / Requirement Management Practices
Description
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: Boxes & Bubbles 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 Design 1000: Boxes & Bubbles 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: Boxes & Bubbles is designed to encourage you to become more confident in sharing your ideas with others!
