Introduction to Business Use Case Documentation and Modeling

A use case diagram is a visual tool that shows who will interact with an evolving information technology solution. A single use case is a textual tool for representing how individual end-users and other involved parties or systems (collectively referred to as “actors :”) will interact with the proposed system. Knowing why you need a use case, when it should be created, and where to put what information is critical to creating good, usable use cases.

Our vision of a virtual workshop is web-based training that is highly interactive. We absolutely avoid the death by page-turning and the passive learning approach that is highly prevalent in most web-based training.
