Main Description
#### Detail Use Cases and Scenarios Elaborate on the use cases that have been identified and outlined by detailing the basic and alternative flow steps in the rich text artifact that has been created in RRC. Use Cases will be elaborated at varying levels of detail throughout the project lifecycle. One way to determine the order which Use Cases flows must be detailed is to review associated links, comments, and attribute values in RRC to determine priority. #### Update Use Case Model Throughout the use case elaboration process, continue to refine the use case diagram and the relationship between multiple use cases and actors. You can identify a very complex use case that is better represented by being split into two use cases, or perhaps realize that a use case identified previously is better addressed as a flow in another use case. RRC provides the capabilities to communicate and collaborate on these decisions throughout the project lifecycle by using the linking and discussion features of the tool. See Working with comments and Working with links #### Capture domain terms Identify important business terminology as you are detailing the Use Case and link to the project glossary. In RRC, terms can contain links to new and existing artifacts, related terms, and synonyms. Project team members can continue to refine the glossary, add comments, and assign attributes to promote consistently throughout the different requirements artifacts. See Managing terminology and glossaries #### Achieve concurrence Collaborate with the team to finalize the detailed requirements and storyboards and ensure consistency across the project by adding comments and replies to documents and artifacts in RRC. See Working with comments Once concurrence is reached and requirements are ready to be formalized, marked requirements can be exported to RequisitePro for management and traceability.
