In follow-up support to the recent Meet-up “Use Cases are Essential”, below a number of great support assets that can help on your journey with the latest thinking on Use Cases.

Need help with Use Cases…
Ivar Jacobson (the father of Use Cases) and Ian Spence, author of the best-selling book “Use Case Modelling”, two of the world’s prominent authorities on Use Cases will deliver this special introductory course (Ivar will make a guest appearance). An unmissable opportunity from IJI to get trained by the best for anyone wanting to get more out of the Use Case technique. In this two-day course (three-day remote) you will gain an in-depth understanding of how use-cases can help you succeed with agile and iterative development methods.
Dr Ivar Jacobson and Dr Alistair Cockburn have published a new paper (Oct 2023) on Use Cases that you can access for free using the link below. Authors Abstract: “While the software industry is a fast-paced and exciting world in which new tools, technologies, and techniques are constantly being developed to serve business and society, it is also forgetful. In its haste for fast-forward motion, it is subject to the whims of fashion and can forget or ignore proven solutions to some of the eternal problems that it faces. Use cases, first introduced in 1986 and popularized later, are one of those proven solutions. Ivar Jacobson and Alistair Cockburn, the two primary actors in this domain, are writing this article to describe to a new generation what use cases are and how they serve.”
