Preparing for the Use Case Workshop 7 August 2008[edit | edit source]

PROPS[edit | edit source]

  • Index Cards - +/- 200
  • Felt tip pens (white board markers ok)
  • Flipcharts x 2
  • White board and markers
  • Decent sized table we can cluster around with index cards spread across it
  • Data projector (optional).

PRE-WORKSHOP ACTIVITIES[edit | edit source]

1. Prepare handouts (SNM)[edit | edit source]

Handout 1: Table of Use Cases[edit | edit source]

  • use case number
  • actor (student, educator, some other party or system)
  • use case name
  • use case description
  • priority (blank - to be set by the educators and students)
  • estimate (blank - to be set by developers)
  • status (blank - to be set by the reviewers via demo)

This should be based on work already done.

The use cases may be derived from the Scope document.

Handout 2: Activity Diagrams for the system (SNM)[edit | edit source]

See example.

A clear and simple way to describe the system and activity flows from the user point of view.

Use this as a basis for the Conceptual Walk-through during the workshop (agenda below).


2. User Story cards[edit | edit source]

Write the id#, name and description of each use case on an index card. (SNM)
