Requirements specification with Use Cases

Intended for

This course is intended for project managers, project leaders, business process owners and functional analysts - all representing the supplier side - and to business owners and dedicated end users - representing the customer side.

Background

No special pre-requisites are required for this course but it will be an advantage if the attendee has some experience in project requirement specification either from the supplier (is) or from the customer side.

Training method

A mixture of theory and practical exercises based on an "Example Case". Most of the exercises are done in small groups. Since there is not that much theory involved to Use Cases the course will focus on setting the attendees at the right way to produce good Use Case descriptions. At the start it will be simple ones but as the course proceeds the Use Cases will become more and more complex.

They way the Use Cases are written is based on Alistair Cockburn's book "Writing Effective Use Cases".

Course leader

Dirk Cumps (Kaizen Informatics).

Duration

2 days.

Objectives

System Developers and End Users have always been setting up meetings to collaborate with regard to Requirements Specification. One method showed up to be better than the other but there has always been a demand for a method that could prove to be the best of practice - until now: Use Cases is a description technique that takes "the users and their demands" as the starting-point for the co-operation between this users and the system people to analyse and describe requirements with Use Cases. Experience has proven that with Use Cases we finally have a method that guarantees a prolific collaboration with regard to requirement specifications between the project system development and the end users - or, talking Use Case language: between the System and the Actors.

By the end the course the attendees will be capable to actively participate at the functional part of Requirements Specification by using the Use Case technique. They will have learned in detail what the possibilities and restrictions of Use Cases are at the different Use Case levels.
