Filip Hendrickx and Fabrício Laguna facilitated a tutorial workshop at BBC 2024, the official international IIBA's Business Analysis Conference in Orlando, Florida, USA. During this workshop, attendees will experience how BA techniques can help organizations to become nimble.

This episode of the Brazilian BA Guest was transmitted live from the event's IIBA booth to share some of the findings from this experience and, maybe, some additional guests might appear.

Note: Nimble is defined by IIBA in a Global Research for Business Leadership as “the scalable capability for organizations to sense and respond to change”.

Use Cases used to be the most common technique for software behavior specification in the 90s. With the rise of Agile frameworks and methods, it became wrongly perceived as a waterfall approach and user stories have taken over part of what use cases did, but there is still a big hole in product development practices.

Now, Dr. Ivar Jacobson, the creator of use cases, and Dr. Alistair Cockburn, one of the Agile Manifesto authors, are reframing Use Cases to place it back where it belongs. Despite use cases is not a commonly listed technique in Agile practices, its usage has been proven immensely valuable by many practitioners.

Use cases fill a hole that is not covered by any of the other practices such as value stream mapping, customer journey mapping, feature slicing, behavior-driven development, acceptance test-driven design, story maps, user experience design, and design thinking.

In this live podcast, I will chat with Ivar Jacobson to talk about how use cases relate to these other practices, in particular use stories. Even more important, is how use cases can be applied nimbly in organizations that must sense and respond to change quickly and precisely.
