Were one simply adventurous enough to approach the subject matter, one would relish the simplicity and joy the experience would bring. Use cases, to a Business Analyst, are perhaps the most “classical” of tools. Use cases, like classic novels, are held in the highest regard, but rarely understood or properly executed upon. So, what is a use case exactly? A use case is a detailed description of a user’s interaction with a system. That’s it. It’s pretty simple; somewhat general, and rather vague. But that’s the way it should be. A use case really amounts to nothing more than plain old “documentation.” It can be applied to a business process, a complex software system, your morning routine, a wedding ceremony, or a historical event.
