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
Wow, that tutorial covered so much, I feel like I just finished an entire course of "Sequence Diagrams 101!"Who knew ATM systems were so dramatic-cards being confirmed, pins being judged, and funds either striding in like they own the place or meekly admitting they are insufficient. If these videos were a Netflix show, I'd binge watch for the narrative twists! Very useful!
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.
Wow, this was an extremely clear and informative guide! I finally understand how to break down complex relationships using sequence diagrams. The ATM example was also very relatable! I'm definitely bookmarking this for my next project. Thanks!
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!
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. 🤝

Thank you so much and welcome to the Doc Squad! I'm happy to know that you are finding the content useful! How often do you use Sequence Diagrams in the work that you do?
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching! The arrow types are specified in the message/return message section of the session. The same arrow types are used for synchronous /asynchronous calls.
Glad you found it informative! When it comes to the questions to ask, think about it this way. The purpose of a sequence diagram is to visually illustrate various scenarios from a use case description. So the real question would be... which questions would you ask to understand the components of the use case. So when diagraming the sequence diagram, you would focus on understanding the actors, the flow/sequence of the interactions, the starts and end of particular scenarios, any conditions or repetitive events, alternate flows, exceptions, and what information is passed when the actions or events occur. That's pretty high-level but I hope that helps!
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!
Thank you! A common mistake is overcomplicating the diagram. Including too many details, objects, or interactions can make the diagram cluttered and hard to understand.I recommend focusing on the key interactions and simplifying where possible. Use notes or separate diagrams to handle complex details.

Hi, Yuri! Understand the theory is critical to understanding how to apply in practice. You can't have one without the other. Also, there is an example toward the end showing the practical application. I hope that helps.

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
Thank you so much and welcome to the Doc Squad! I'm happy to know that you are finding the content useful! How often do you use Sequence Diagrams in the work that you do?
you are a treasure man
thanks alot for helping me
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching! It really motivates me to keep creating. Glad to help!
Thank you so much for the tutorial, i have understood everything
You are most welcome! I'm glad I was able to present the information in a way that resonates with you!
I love your videos they're so insightful and easy to understand. Can you do a case study beginning to end walk through?
Hi, Kiki! Glad you are finding the content useful! I'll look into putting together a case study. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
So wonderful explanation!
Thank you so much for the feedback and for watching! I hope the information serves you well during the creation of your next sequence diagram model.
Very Nice! I suggest you to specify the arrow type for synchronous and asynchronous message
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching! The arrow types are specified in the message/return message section of the session. The same arrow types are used for synchronous /asynchronous calls.
12:06 i think the "asynchronous message" should be another arrow symbol, similar to opposite of "return message", no?
Correct! Synchronous messages have a solid arrowhead, while asynchronous messages should be drawn with open arrowheads. Great catch!
Very informative video! What questions should be asked to understand the components of a sequence diagram?..

Which tool do you use to make the diagrams?
Hey! Thanks for watching! I generally use lucid chart.
Can you let me know the best free tool to create this Sequence diagram?
I use Lucid chart, you can also try the free versions of Visual Paradigm, Draw.io, or EndrawMax. I hope that helps.
Thanks a bunch for this one.
You are very welcome! I'm glad you found the content to be valuable. I hope it serves you well.

I could not make sense of the translation for this. But thanks for watching!
too much theory
