Sequence Diagram Tutorial and EXAMPLE | UML Diagrams

A sequence diagram is a Unified Modeling Language (UML) interaction diagram that represents the logic of how objects within a system interact with each other to execute a scenario. This diagram is used in business analysis and software engineering as it can be illustrated at various levels including for a single scenario or an entire system. A key feature of the sequence diagram is that it demonstrates the order (sequence) in which these events take place, which is why it is the next level of detail following use case diagrams. You can learn more about use cases below:

The sequence diagram is drawn in two dimensions (vertical and horizontal axes) to provide additional context for the sequence of events. Sequence diagrams are also used to illustrate the interaction between user interfaces and software components.

In this video tutorial, I'll be discussing what a Sequence Diagram is, and the various levels of detail, including system sequence diagrams (SSD), Sequence Diagram Best Practices, and an Example of a Sequence Diagram. I'll also be examining the main components of the sequence diagram including topics, object boxes, actors, activation boxes, lifelines, messages, return messages, and combination fragments, such as alternatives, options, and loops.

This video provides a complete explanation of sequence diagrams, including their components, levels of information, and best practices. It's especially useful for individuals new to UML or seeking to grasp how interactions move across a system. The ATM example helps to put things in perspective by demonstrating how sequence diagrams can map out complex procedures. This content is a good refresher on how to maintain sequence diagrams simple and concise, particularly the best practices portion about focusing solely on key interactions. Thank you so much for this!

Useful and helpful. I would recommend to everyone who is looking to learn Sequence to watch this video. This is all you need to get it all. Thanks to the author and uploader for providing such a great resource

[dddevchonka]

I just cannot thank you enough for this excellent explanation! I finally got it :)

[e.denise]

Thank you for your thoroughness in presenting this. You are a gifted teacher.

[Ragehunter]

17:27 very clear example with clear explanation. Thank you so much)

(Example 💯)

[GabriellaVegasss]

Great walkthrough of sequence diagrams! Your ATM example made everything so much clearer. Thanks for breaking it down step-by-step and for the best practices. Definitely going to use these tips in my next project. Keep up the awesome work!

[isabelleferron]

Thank you for this. I've been studying for the CBAP exam and those various diagrams are not well explained in the BABOK. Your concrete examples make them so much easier to understand. 🤝

[masonsingleton]

Amazing video! I had an aha moment when you talked about using this to add more the use case diagram details. A constant issue for me has now been solved. Thank you Dr.

[addituu]

Thank you! Your explanations are very simple and clear! Keep up the good work!

[morranjohansen]

Wow! You make all this information so easy to understand. Thanks

[rembautimes]

Amazing channel and I do hope this content reaches many BAs or analysts . Joined as sub. For info, I work in a financial institution in Singapore

[miriammunetsi]

Thank you so much for the tutorial, i have understood everything

[taharm]

Very Nice! I suggest you to specify the arrow type for synchronous and asynchronous message

[Vanessaaaa-]

Great explanation of sequence diagrams! The example made it easy to understand how to model interactions in a system. Could you provide more tips on common mistakes to avoid when creating sequence diagrams? Thanks!

[KikiD]

I love your videos they're so insightful and easy to understand. Can you do a case study beginning to end walk through?

[davehunter]

Very informative video! What questions should be asked to understand the components of a sequence diagram?..

[tolevelup]

You have a new FAN!!! Thank you for this! Do you have any BA best practice tools for BA's?

[futhedude]

12:06 i think the "asynchronous message" should be another arrow symbol, similar to opposite of "return message", no?

[YavorIvanov-nxkx]

Which tool do you use to make the diagrams?

[vishalmehta]

Can you let me know the best free tool to create this Sequence diagram?
