Enterprise Architect for Business Analysis - Requirements Management
Capturing and communicating business needs as requirements is a critical task of a Business Analyst.
Requirements Repositories allows capturing those requirements once, then have them available to you and your team for the projects lifetime and beyond. Using Requirements Management tools like Enterprise Architect, the captured business requirements can then be transformed to a formal requirements specification according to the business information needs and views of every relevant stakeholder. Also validating these specifications by tracing from the requirement specification and solution components at every level directly back to the business requirements helps you create the most accurate solutions imaginable. This webinar shows how to use Enterprise Architect for building and managing a requirements repository. You will also learn how to establish requirements traceability in Enterprise Architect thereby documenting the lineage of the requirement to its solutions.
We encourage you to register for the webinar using the link below:

Sparx Systems Award 2020 - Federation University Australia
The School of Science, Engineering and Information Technology at Federation University presents an annual Information Technology Student Awards Presentation.
The Sparx Systems 2020 award was presented to Thommas Bannister.
The Sparx Systems award was established for a student that displays academic excellence in their degree. On recieving the award, Tom commented "Learning at Federation University was one of the best experiences of my life. All of the lecturers were very kind and cared immensely about ensuring that their students were able to achieve their maximum potential and some of the friendships I made there will last the rest of my life. Over the course of my undergraduate, I studied a wide array of subjects including Artificial Intelligence, Security, Programming/Software Engineering, Databases, Networks, etc and got to be the project manager for a full year project that involved designing a Smart Bin system for Federation University campuses. My favourite area of ICT is programming/software engineering as it gives me an huge amount of creativity and allows me to continually challenge myself to design better systems and solutions to problems."
Sparx Systems likes to encourage Federation University students to achieve world class results. Sparx Systems has a strong association with Federation University with many staff having once worked and studied at Federation University.
Join the webinar - Enterprise Architect in a typical day of a Business Analyst
Join us in this webinar to see how a Business Analyst uses Enterprise Architect in a typical day to help them with all their Business Analysis activities and manage all Business Analysis information like RAID logs, requirements model, requirement documents, test cases etc from within Enterprise Architect.
In this webinar, you will learn how Enterprise Architect can be used to:
- Manage everyday BA activities like daily tasks, documenting test reports, validating requirements, documenting risks, issues, actions and decisions, etc.
- Organize and maintain BA artifacts like requirements, use case models, business process models, defect logs etc.
- Engage stakeholders in remote discussions using EA collaborate feature.
- Monitor project progress with Gantt charts and KPI dashboards.
Distributed Online Business Continuity
Distributed Online Business Continuity using the Pro Cloud Server
In recent times there has been an unprecedented obligation for staff to work at home, prompting a need for technical solutions that can ensure business continuity with a distributed and remote workforce.
The Sparx Systems software suite, including Enterprise Architect, Pro Cloud Server, WebEA and Prolaborate, offers a way for isolated workers to access their organization's centralized repositories using home-based Internet connections and to continue working as though they were still in the office. Using the Pro Cloud Server features they can continue contributing their expertise to strategic, business and technical projects and collaborating and sharing ideas in real-time.
To learn more about distributed online business continuity, please download the attached whitepaer.
The whitepaper discusses all of the benefits of using Enterprise Architect via the Pro Cloud Server, for distributed development and working from home.
To see the Pro Cloud Server in action, please view the following video on Distributed Online Business Continuity.
Reference Architecture for the Healthcare System
Oliver Kipf professionally combines his expertise in healthcare and Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) and relies entirely on Enterprise Architect.
He is currently working intensively on a reference architecture for healthcare that puts the patient in the center and also includes a pandemic scenario.

Collaboration in Crisis Management and the Value of Standards
The global collaboration and preventative action currently being demonstrated by world authorities, national governments, multinationals, small businesses, communities, families and individuals to mitigate the rampant spread of COVID -19 through the global population, sets an example of large scale co-operation. In time the spread of the virus will be controlled, as appears to be the status of the outbreak in China, and society will be the wiser for the experience, the learnings of which will be codified in new health, and emergency response standards to support best practice.
Action on Human Health
According to Bruce Aylward, the World Health Organisation team leader, “rapid detection and contact tracing can help mitigate and break emerging infection chains where clusters emerge.”
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) which are based on Geospatial standards, provide capabilities to organize, present, and analyze spatial and geographic data to indicate the location and number of infections, as is demonstrated by a number of universities including the University of Washington. https://hgis.uw.edu/virus/
Action on Climate Change
The World Meteorological Organization and an extensive network of partners has produced and published the “WMO Statement on the State of the Global Climate in 2019”. In the report Forward UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, stated, “This report outlines the latest science and illustrates the urgency for far-reaching climate action.”

Value of Standards
On a global scale, our ability and capacity for collective, rapid, action and response is evident. Can we apply this collective experience -the wisdom of hindsight- to prevent further harm to our ailing planet? I believe that we can!
Crisis presents not only a threat. It is also an extraordinary chance to improve our knowledge and response systems and to collectively learn and be more prepared for future emergencies.
Already, existing standards are being updated and new ones are being published. The International Standards Organisation (ISO) has a number of widely used standards, including ISO 14001 that support methods to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The Sendai Framework emphasizes the need for resilient health systems and the integration of disaster risk management into health care provision at all levels.
Both emergency scenarios, – the threat to global health and the threat to global climate - call for urgent responses to which we can all contribute.
Sparx Systems Support
For almost two decades, Sparx Systems has made Enterprise Architect available to the global standards development effort. The platform is used in multiple domains – Health, Utilities, Geospatial, Aviation, Transport, Meteorology, Land, Water etc, - to capture and codify industry best practice and enable developed standards from different domains to interoperate and facilitate cross domain knowledge sharing.
Standards development is a collaborative volunteer based activity and increased support for this effort across many domains including those mentioned above, requires more people to get involved.
If you are involved in the development of standards or you feel that you can contribute, please get in touch with us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Furthermore, if you are a Corporate or Government user of Enterprise Architect, please consider free deployment of the Pro Cloud Server to overcome the potential risk of lost productivity from employee self-isolation.
