Steps
Detail use cases and scenarios
Some use cases and scenarios might need to be described in more detail to validate the understanding of the
requirements and to permit software development to begin. This does not imply that all use cases and scenarios
will be detailed prior to commencing implementation on them. The level of detail captured will vary depending upon the
needs of the project and the complexity of the use case. Capture the use case and scenarios details in the use
case specification.
|
Update Use-Case Model
Detail glossary terms
Review the flow of the use case or scenario. If information is exchanged, be specific about what is passed back and
forth. Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure that you define newly discovered domain terms, or ambiguous terms
properly in the glossary. If your understanding of the domain has improved, refine existing glossary terms.
|
Achieve concurrence
Review the detailed use case and scenarios with relevant stakeholders and the development team to ensure
consistency with the agreed vision. Assess quality and identify any required changes.

|
Key Considerations
To avoid unnecessary rework, only those use-case scenarios that are scheduled for implementation in the near term (in
the next iteration or two) must be detailed.
Not all use-case scenarios require detailing.
