A full execution path through Use Cases, listing only observable actions of the system and actors. These are mainly great for discovery where we use these to capture goals, context and constraints as well as success criteria. These expose assumptions and risks but are not complete or specifications.
Can also be thought of as a “user flow”.
Can have a main scenario, alternative scenarios (achieves the goal of the primary UC through alternative means), and exceptions.
Things to consider…
- Identify specific goals and triggers
- Capture context and constraints
- Define success outcomes and what counts as failures
Here, you want to be specific and concise and end with an observable success criterion.
