Looking for an online version of Astah? Astah is a desktop application. See Is there an online or browser-based version of Astah? for ways to share and collaborate on models.
Have you tried Mob Programming? If you aren’t familiar with the term “Mob Programming” or just “Mobbing”, it is a software development approach where multiple developers work on the same thing at the same time on the same computer. It brings great positive effects in knowledge sharing among team members with different levels of skills and boosting productivity.
We adopted Mob Programming and we’ve gone beyond. Now we are doing “Mob Modeling”!
The approach is the same as Mob Programming. The team members get together and do the software modeling using our modeling tool – Astah or a whiteboard instead of using a text editor.
We LOVE Mob Modeling, but…
We LOVE Mob Modeling. However, due to the pandemic, we are forced to work from home now, as we all are experiencing. So, to continue Mob Modeling remotely, we transposed Astah and the whiteboard to a collaborative whiteboard tool, miro.
We LOVE miro! It is a splendid tool and is impeccable for online collaboration. However, sometimes I want to go into details and refine the diagram after Mob Modeling. So we’ve made a plugin to export the miro diagram to Astah! (and vice versa)
Watch 2-min demo video!
What you need to start Online Mob Modeling!
- miro
- Astah Professional or Astah UML (free trial is available)
- Astah miro plugin (free)
Note: The Astah miro plugin is experimental and is not guaranteed to work with the latest versions of Astah.
You can try Online Mob Modeling with a free trial of Astah. Give it a try, experience the power of Online Mob Modeling, and let us know what you think! 🙂
Thank you!
