Activity 4.4: Creating a Future-State Usage Scenario In this activity, you will use the provided use cases and usage scenarios for the client-billing process, along with the Ferguson and Bardell, Inc. case study, to create future-state use cases and usage scenarios. First, as a class, you will review the information provided in the case study. Next, you will create future-state use cases for the client-billing process. Next, you will create future-state usage scenarios for the solution required by Ferguson and Bardell, Inc. Objectives After completing this activity, you will be able to: ! Create a future-state usage scenario Before You Begin This activity includes both small group tasks and class discussion. Prerequisites There are no prerequisites for this activity. Materials ! The Ferguson and Bardell, Inc. case study. Time to complete this activity: 60 minutes followed by a 10 minute discussion. Scenario The Ferguson and Bardell project team has determined that the client billing process is the highest risk part of the required solution and therefore should be the first part designed. Current state use cases and usage scenarios have been developed for the roles of the administrative assistant and the consultant in this process. The requirements for the process include: ! Data will only be entered once, for efficiency and consistency. ! Consultants are responsible for submitting their hours in a timely fashion. ! Consultants will submit their timesheets directly to their manager. 24 Activity 4.4: Creating a Future-State Usage Scenario Exercise 1: Creating a Future-State Use Case (30 minutes) ! Create a future-state use case 1. Participate in small groups as assigned by the instructor. 2. Review the Ferguson and Bardell, Inc. case study. 3. Review the current-state use cases and usage scenarios. 4. Create future-state use cases for the client billing process by using the current-state use case as a template. 5. Draw the use cases in the space provided. After completing the above steps, you will discuss your responses with the class. The instructor will write the class consensus on a flipchart.
