Use Case Description EXAMPLE [ Use Case Tutorial and Best Practices ]
A use case description AKA use case specification provides a way to verify that your functional requirements will cover all the bases and take all the possible scenarios into consideration. Need a Use Case Description Example??? Well... you got it! This is a widely used approach to documenting functional requirements, which is why the use case description also makes the list of BABOKs 50 BA techniques. This requirements documentation technique is often paired with its visual counterpart known as the use case diagram. If you want to know the best practices for use case descriptions, check out this video! I'll be presenting an example as well as the main components of the specification including actors (primary and secondary), basic flow, alternate flow, exception flow, scenarios, pre-conditions, post-conditions, and triggers.

Use Case documentation has been a game changer for managing projects in my organization! It helps to narrow the focus for developers, and it also cuts down on scope creep. I wish I started doing this sooner!

Hi, Sonia! I'm so happy to hear that you are able to follow the content. Definitely watch as many times as you need to and take notes! Yes, the use case description/document/specification are all the same. I also have a video on the use case "diagram" that you might find helpful as well. That's usually the starting point for the use case description. You can check that out here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aopn1JeMhLfTkqQ.html
