Design Patterns
14 HoursA wide array of proven and tested design patterns is readily accessible. Often, the process involves adapting their names and implementing them within a specific technology stack. This approach can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be dedicated to design and testing phases. The course aims to achieve two primary objectives: first, to enable the reuse of widely recognized patterns, and second, to facilitate the creation and reuse of patterns tailored to your organization. It assists in estimating how these patterns can reduce costs, systematize the design process, and generate a code framework based on your patterns. The target audience includes software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers, developers, as well as operational managers and software division managers. The course style focuses on use cases and their relationship with specific patterns. Most examples are explained in UML and in simple Java examples (the language can change if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the sources of the patterns as well as showing you how to catalogue and describe patterns which can be reused across your organization.

- Exploring the intersection of DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
- Key DT methods and tools: persona development, stakeholder mapping, customer journey mapping, service blueprints, and business model innovation.
- Practical applications of DT: cultivating a design mindset, driving disruptive innovation, applying iterative and agile estimation techniques, enhancing critical thinking and problem-solving, fostering teamwork and leadership, sharpening communication and negotiation skills, leveraging technology, encouraging forward-thinking, and developing intercultural, ethical, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and conflict resolution competencies.
Objectives:
- To grasp the fundamental principles and subtleties of Design Thinking.
- To investigate core concepts, influencing factors, theories, types, and models within DT.
- To gain hands-on experience and practice through experimentation.
