Run Use Case Workshop (Process Notes 2.1.8)

This workshop is conducted with the participation of the appropriate customer/user and the requirements team. The first segment of the workshop generates the scenarios; this effort needs input from the users/customers. The idea is to talk through a use case/event and to extract from the user the essential things that have to happen when this business event takes place. You are trying to define a series of user-recognizable steps that complete the work of this business use case. You ask the user to verify/improve/change the steps that you have written down. The resulting use case scenario is a very rough sketch of the requirements for the use case.

After the use case workshop, the requirements analysts go back to their offices and derive and specify the individual requirements from the knowledge in the use case scenarios.
