Course overview

Use-cases are still a popular way of working for both business and system requirements. Googling “use-case” yields 4 times more hits than Googling “user story”, but software development should not be driven by popularity. Instead we should use the most practical way of working, one that allows us to continuously improve. Over the years we have learnt how to be truly successful with use-cases, and of course we have learnt something from other techniques. In this workshop we will discuss how user stories and aspect-orientation have inspired us to make use-cases even better while maintaining their core values and show you how to be successful with use-cases.

We will demonstrate that use-cases are:

  • As agile and light as you want it to be
  • Are not just about requirements – they’re for everything including planning, development and testing
  • A form of acceptance test driven development compatible with other agile techniques such as specification be example
  • Scalable – scaling up, scaling out and zooming in to meet your needs
  • Are also for infrastructure software
  • Are not just for software development – but for business as well
  • And how use-cases are split up into slices to populate a backlog suitable to support Scrum or Kanban, maintaining the values of use-cases while adapting them to backlog-driven development.

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will understand:

  • How to slice use-cases to create well-defined pieces of work for agile teams
  • How to manage scope using use-cases
  • How to build a product backlog using use-cases
  • How to iteratively develop the use-case narratives
  • How to select the correct amount of detail to include in their use-cases
  • How to select the appropriate style of use-case description to use on their project(s)

Topics covered include:

  • Understanding the Big Picture with Use Cases
  • Building a Product Backlog with Use-Cases
  • Slicing Use-Cases to Drive Releases and Iterations
  • The Lifecycle of a Use-Case and a Use-Case Slice
  • Handling Architectural and Other Supporting Requirements
  • Use Cases and Specification by Example

In summary, you will learn how Use-Case 2.0 supports teams working agilely with all types and sizes of systems helping them with all aspects of software development including building effective backlogs, test-driven development and acceptance testing.

Ждём вас на SECR 2014

  • The conference program always keeps focus on important aspects of state-of-the-art software engineering technologies, and provides a unique opportunity and ground to meet in person with world-known gurus in software engineering. I would like to highlight the excellent atmosphere of SECR that enables fascinating discussions and practical experience exchange with colleagues from leading IT companies. Participants of the conference have become good friends, and the conference itself can be considered an annual meeting of Software Engineering Club members.

  • It was nice being back in Moscow and at CEE-SECR. It is a very well organized conference you have, quite different in scope from the normal “western” conferences I attend — and I mean that positively. There is a more practitioner approach, but still some academic touch. And you seem to have a very enthusiastic — and growing — audience attending. So you must be on the right track.

  • I truly enjoyed speaking at SECR. The hospitality given to the speakers was exceptional and the conference was very well run. I am looking forward to returning soon!

  • SECR is an impressive conference: it covers a broad range of computer science topics, has engaged and excited speakers and attendees, is well organized, and generally a lot of fun to attend. It’s a great place to learn about new topics and meet experts in the field.

  • I am always delighted to participate in SECR. On the one hand, the conference attracts me by really work atmosphere and environment, by a big number of speakers whom are interesting to hear, and on the other hand, by numerous round tables devoted to various problems which seem to be really vital to the major part of participants. I am really pleased with the informal atmosphere which always predominates on the sessions themselves as well as in the lobby talks within the backroom space. All these actions are usually held on a very high professional level. It is also great that in spite of purely engineering scope of the conference many other topics related to the software engineering are also discussed here, such as human resources and training in IT companies, IP protection etc. No doubts, that SECR is considered to be a world-class conference and comprehensively reflects the status of IT industry in Russia as well as development trends in the world.

  • I was privileged to speak at CEE-SECR in 2011 to a large group of Russian software experts on the future of Scrum. It is inspiring to see how over the last few years, Scrum has taken hold and is truly transforming the culture of the Russian software industry. This process is driven in large part by the drive and dedication of leaders like the organizers of the CEE-SECR event to make the most advanced knowledge and best practices available to their fellow software professionals. It is professionally gratifying to be a part of this effort.

  • As a speaker I really liked the conference organization — everything was quick and exactly as was agreed. As a participant I really enjoyed the conference program. Sometimes due to two or even three interesting reports in parallel tracks, it was almost impossible to make a choice, but I think it is a good thing for a conference.

  • I was very impressed with the Software Engineering Conference Russia. In part, this was due to the hard work of the organizers and sponsors of the conference. And in part, the success of the conference was a result of the desire of Russian software professionals to network, learn, and advance the state-of-the-practice. This is a hallmark of our emerging discipline: the professionalization of software engineering. The enthusiasm of the attendees and speakers at SECR was notable. All who were associated with the conference are to be congratulated.

  • At the last year’s event, we heard from Dr. Jeff Sutherland, the co-inventor of Scrum, that his company Scrum Inc. was launching a new Scrum capability assessment methodology. Since it is always extremely valuable to learn from the best, we decided to undergo the assessment, and as a result First Line became the first software firm in the world to be awarded an official Scrum Capability Rating by Scrum Inc.

  • CEE-SECR is different from other conferences: successful smiling friendly people give the impression that I was on another planet; The conference is well organized and comfortable for participants, there was a speakers’ room, WiFi, space for discussions with a board and a screen. A pleasant fact for me was that at the last moment, when I was about to leave on a plane one of the participants told me he was going to SECR for only 2 reports, one of which is mine.

  • SECR was a remarkable event, in a number of ways. The quality and breadth both of the presenters and attendees made this a world-class conference on software engineering of great value to academics and practitioners alike. It was particularly useful and rewarding for those of us coming from abroad to learn something about Russia today and the state of the Russian software industry. It is an impressive and growing community that will only increase in importance in years to come.
