Chapter 6. Scenarios and Requirements

in which we look at scenarios as a way of helping the stakeholders to discover their requirements

By now you have reached the stage in the requirements process where you have identified the business events, and thereby the business use cases. In Chapter 5, we looked at trawling for the requirements using a variety of techniques. In this chapter, we examine the use of scenarios as a way of discovering and recording business and requirements knowledge. We have found scenarios to be effective, largely because of their ready acceptance by non-technical stakeholders.
