For the change management application, that I am still toying with the idea of building. I figure that if requirements come about they can't be all that damaging. The worse thing that can happen is that when we do get approval to move forward, at least we will have something that everyone can start from. One of the things that needs to be done for requirements is the uses cases, the detailed overview and then the drill down. Below is a template for use cases, that I'm thinking of using. After a quick perusal does anyone see any room for improvement?

1 Comments to “Use Case Template”
Most of the use cases I have seen are excel spreadsheets with a list of possible good/bad things for the web application.
Is this a next step up? And who uses similar forms?
