Looking forward to SPA 2006

In a little over a week myself and a colleague (Mark Fish) will be delivering a workshop at SPA 2006.

In the workshop we will show how we approach eliciting use cases by discovering the stakeholders of a system. From here we cover techniques for authoring use cases in a robust yet readable style.

This first part of the workshop will be followed by an open, led discussion regarding the appropriate uses of use-cases in a agile software development environment. While use-cases are a little out of fashion in the “user story” led world I intend to show when and where the investment in robust use cases is appropriate.
