Join Dr Ivar Jacobson and Dr Alistair Cockburn for an engaging discussion on the resurgence of use cases in modern software development.
In a fast-paced and ever-evolving software industry, it's easy to forget the proven solutions that have stood the test of time. Use cases, originally introduced in 1986 and popularized in the early 1990s, are one of those enduring solutions. Yet in the late 1990s the rise of Agile methodologies brought forward another technique, user stories, which seemed to challenge the relevance of use cases in agile development.
This Meetup explores the evolution of use cases and user stories. It will reveal that, rather than being mutually exclusive, these two approaches have a significant overlap and can be combined to provide a powerful practice for modern software development.
Dr Ivar Jacobson, with over 50 years of contributions to software engineering, including being a founder of Use Cases, shares his insights and expertise. Dr Alistair Cockburn, a prominent figure in the Agile community and author of the popular book 'Writing Effective Use Cases', shares his perspective.
Together, they shed light on the value of use cases in today's software landscape and how they can coexist with modern development methodologies.
Don't miss this invaluable opportunity to explore the historical significance, practical synergies, and real-world applications of use cases in the ever-evolving software engineering domain. Join us in this enlightening discussion as we uncover why "Use Cases are Essential" in a world of ever-changing software paradigms.
