But, like I have experienced lots of times before > with book recommendations, YMMV. "Use Case Modeling" is very practical too. Following is an excerpt from the Ivar Jacobson's foreword to the book: "... To date, there has been something missing from the literature of use-case modeling: a description of the practical, day-to-day details of identifying and describing use cases. This book provides those details, defining the use-case model and fleshing out use-case descriptions. It's a perfect extension and complement to my earlier works, finishing the story of how the use cases are identified and how they evolve. Use Case Modeling builds on the basic concepts by leveraging the practical experience that Kurt and Ian have gained through their many years of work in various industries-working with development teams either as consultants or as team members themselves. They have nicely distilled that experience into this very practical and insightful work. For people new to the field, this book provides an excellent tutorial. For use-case veterans, it provides an excellent reference that can be called upon on a daily basis. This is the very best book on use cases ever written. Read it to understand use-case ideas and to apply those ideas with common sense based on the kind of system you are building and the maturity of your team members.
