Adopting use cases Part II: Putting learning into practice

Last month, in Part I of this series, we introduced a hypothetical case study in which Harriet, an aspiring analyst, along with her team members on the CATALYST project, began a journey with use cases. Through her discussions with Smith, an experienced project manager, we learned about types of use cases and related artifacts. We also received some pointers on how to introduce the use-case technique into an organization and how to determine when use cases are complete. Now, in Part II, we will trace the execution of the CATALYST project that Harriet is working on and highlight how her team members applied the principles Smith recommended.
