Mastering Use Case Modeling
This 5-day workshop is designed to introduce and create mastery in the capture
of modern software system requirements in a use-case model. It capitalizes on
best practices while updating them for relevance in the newest system
architectures of today. Whether a legacy system is to be refactored, or a
greenfield project is being considered, this workshop will create a solid
foundation for all those involved in eliciting and documenting the new system.
Explicating the requirements of a new system from the minds of domain experts
who can't see "the water they swim in" has become the most treacherous
waters to navigate in the whole of the Software Development Life cycle (SDLC).
This workshop has the courage to face the greatest development challenges
head-on. Its author is both a psychologist and software engineer, and a seasoned
veteran in all phases of software development. He knows the frustrations
developers experience from inadequate requirements, having dealt with it while
working with U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, municipalities and Fortune 1000
companies. The event is loaded with lessons from the trenches and is heavily
"hands-on" (about 65%), with portions of lecture followed by two
levels of workshops designed to help the participants internalize and apply the
concepts: Activity Labs and Immersive Learning Labs.
Who Should Attend
This learning event is beneficial for anyone that may be involved in software
development, including managers (both business and IT) who may need to direct a
requirements analysis effort, office personnel who may need to contribute
business expertise, analysts who will need to define and organize the
requirements, and developers who will need to construct the system from use case
models.
Workshop Objectives:
- Create mastery in understanding the context within which use cases are
utilized.
- Create mastery in understanding use cases as the epitome of requirements
capture.
- Create mastery in detecting system needs underneath stakeholder requests.
- Create mastery in the writing of clear, unambiguous use cases.
- Create wisdom of understanding to know exactly how much detail to include.
- Create mastery of standardized notation in the drawing of use case
diagrams.
- Catch the feel of an iterative incremental approach to developing system
requirements.
- Learn how to use basic and advanced techniques to refine the use case
model.
- Create the ability to integrate data and process requirements.
- Create a documentation hierarchy and standards for defining levels of
requirements.
- Gain facility in dealing with change through requirement attributes and
traceability.
- Keep the large picture (SDLC) in mind while working on the details (use
cases).
- Learn to manage system scope amidst changing requirements.
