Use case design

From the idea to a reliable solution sketch.

In use case design, identified use cases are developed in such a way that they are technically, professionally and organizationally feasible.
The aim is to turn a rough idea into a clearly described, evaluated and realizable use case – as a basis for architecture decisions, pilot projects or later implementation.

Who is the use case design intended for?

The use case design is aimed at organizations that…

have identified specific use cases, but these are not yet sufficiently structured.

need a sound basis for making decisions on implementation or investment.

want to compare and prioritize several use cases.

want to understand risks and dependencies before implementation.

It is typically used after a use case discovery or following an initial technical analysis.

What is developed in the use case design

The focus is on the systematic development of one or more use cases – professionally, technically and organizationally.

Technical concretization

The use case is described precisely:

  • Objective and technical benefits
  • Roles and systems involved
  • Relevant data, rules and triggers
  • Differentiation from other processes

Technical classification

The use case is categorized technically on the basis of the functional description:

  • Architecture and integration overview
  • Interfaces, dependencies and framework conditions
  • Evaluation of possible solutions

Evaluation and basis for decision-making

The developed use case is evaluated with regard to the following aspects:

  • Implementation effort and complexity
  • Technical and organizational risk
  • Potential benefits and scalability

Result of the use case design

At the end, clearly structured and evaluated use cases are available, which…

  • are clearly described in technical terms

  • are technically realistically feasible

  • provide a sound basis for decision-making

  • serve as a basis for PoC, pilot or implementation

The results are deliberately prepared in such a way that they can be transferred directly to subsequent phases.
