Holding modelling sessions
Some types of modelling sessions include use-case modelling sessions, data modelling sessions, and class modelling sessions. According to Scott Ambler, these are “single artefact modelling sessions”, where each session would come up with a single artefact for the project.
When it comes to Agile projects, it is recommended having phase modelling sessions, where the sessions focus on phases that correspond to major phases in a traditional project. For example, requirements modelling sessions would be for defining what the stakeholders want from the product, while analysis modelling sessions would be for refining the requirements. Design modelling sessions, on the other hand, would focus on detailed build strategies for different portions of the system.
Agile modelling sessions are highly-iterative and would take a requirement, analyse it, and come up with a potential design strategy in a matter of minutes. This approach rapidly goes through the different project phases – requirements analysis and then onto design – on a small chunk of the product on a need-to basis, and reflects how an agile project would operate daily.
