Writing use cases, The art of writing a good use case, explained in 30 minutes.
Course Description
This is a short recap course that explains the structure of a usecase and gives a step-by-step process on how to create a good usecase.
Following these steps and thinking about each component you will be able to write comprehensible usecases that can be interpreted by all stakeholders.
This course is free and is intentionally short. I don’t want to explain too much unnecessary information, only the necessary fundamentals.
It covers the components of a good usecase, it delivers an example of a usecase, and discuss it, and the last part is an exercise where we go over the creation of a usecase for a problem ourselves.
This course is complementary to my general Functional analyses course and my course about writing documentation for IT and software development.
The course describes the parts of a good usecase, after that it will show this in an existing usecase. The first part covers briefly the similarities and differences between a user story and a usecase, and we conclude with an exercise on how to create a usecase from a given problem statement.
This course is a good starter for writing user stories for aspiring analysts, but it can also be studied by developers and testers as they often need to write or edit usecases themselves.
