The Use Case Driven Business Modeling practice improves consistency and predictability by clearly documenting as-is and
to-be business processes with easy-to-follow use case and UML techniques. It improves oversight by assuring the value
the business provides is realized by elements within the business. And it improves audit results by providing
traceability from the business goals (use cases) to the description of how the business operates (realizations).
Use Case Driven Business Modeling is one of many techniques that contributes to describing or re-engineering
a business. Other methods and tools such as Functional Area Analysis, Business Process Modeling, and Component
Business Modeling can be used in conjunction with UCDBM to provide additional perspectives of a business. UCDBM is
particularly useful to quickly identify business boundaries and interactions, communicate the business functions in a
way that's easy to consume, and leverage an organization's existing skills with use case modeling.
A Use Case-driven approach to business modeling is attractive for organizations already familiar with Use Case-Driven
development and organizations looking for a technique for describing business requirements and processes that is easy
to use and comprehend by non-technical roles.
