Course Overview

Use cases provide a structured, industry-standard way of eliciting and documenting visibly observable functional requirements from the point of view of the business. The process enhances communication between business analysts and stakeholders and helps the stakeholders articulate their needs in a way other elicitation techniques can’t. It also lays the foundation for user interface design and test case development. You will learn where use cases are most effective, a step-by-step method for creating them, and guidelines and tips to enhance them. This course provides the right blend of knowledge and skills for people to understand and model business use cases effectively.

Note: This course has been approved by PMI for 14 PDUs.
