Use Cases are a proven tool to uncover behavioral and functional requirements of computer software systems. Having good Use Cases has been shown to significantly improve the overall development process by enhancing understanding of requirements early in the software development life cycle. Writing effective Use Case descriptions is part art, part science and not a skill that comes easily to most people.
User Stories are also critical. To successfully deliver a product, the team needs to elicit information from a wide number of people and communicate this information effectively to developers, testers, trainers, business owners and other stakeholders. Over time, many practices have been developed to bring order and predictability to software projects by detailing requirements in an increasingly more ordered and focused manner.
The use case and user story approach to requirements elicitation turns the traditional way of working on its head, gathering just enough information to make the necessary decisions at the right point in time.
This course covers the fundamentals of requirements elicitation with Use Cases, and provides the participants with examples and experience in writing Use Case descriptions, drawing on best practice from experts in the field. The course aims to answer the vexing questions about deciding on the appropriate level of detail to present based on the context of the system under development. Participants are shown how to analyze Use Case descriptions to uncover specific requirements to be recorded in a Software Requirements Specification or similar document.
This hands-on bootcamp also provides an end to end approach to developing and using user stories. There is some overlap of materials between the BA Bootcamp and the Use Case and User Story Bootcamp. It is there to reinforce key requirement elicitation techniques to properly understand and create Use Cases and User Stories.

My instructor Shane Hastie was absolutely incredible. I can honestly say this was the first time I wanted a training course to continue well beyond the four days we had. Shane was engaging, funny, and so easy to listen to.

The pacing of every SoftEd course I have taken is always perfect. It's fast enough to keep you engaged, while being timed well enough that you have time to process and understand the material being presented.

I enjoyed the breakout sessions where I was able to collaborate with other attendees. I gained a wealth of knowledge on how to write Use Cases and User Stories. As a Project Manager I now have a better understanding of how BAs capture requirements and turn them into Use cases/User Stories.
