<<The name of the use case should be a term that captures the essence of the activity being described.  Example: "send a message", "authenticate to a service", "discover a transaction endpoint".>>

Description

<<Provide a description of the use case.>>

Champion / Stakeholder

<<Identify the champion(s) who will develop the use case, and stakeholder(s) with a tangible interest in the use case.>>

Actors

Prerequisites / Assumptions

<<Provide a description of all assumptions or prerequisites that need to be in place for the use case to be applicable or possible.>>

Use Case Steps/Sequence Diagram

<<At the risk of being pedantic - sequence diagrams are farther down the development chain. Before we get there we should be able to articulate a use case using a use case diagram, n'est ce pas?

<<Provide the list of steps.>>

<<Do we want to use sequence diagrams?  There's a nice online tool here.>>

End State
