    I’m pretty familiar with use cases but was required to take this course by my company. I was surprised how much I got out of this class. It actually helped a lot with some frustrations we’ve had with getting the right level and detail to make them practical and worthwhile. Thanks Brad!

    Excellent course and great material. Would have been a five except for the technical glitches with the web conferencing.

    I really enjoyed the clear and concise instruction as we went through the steps involved in eliciting and writing a use case. The instructor obviously had a lot of experience and used it to help reiterate the process which I feel helped visualize the points being made
