Hi Mike,
I was hoping you could post the announcement below to NWCLUG.
We are holding a free seminar on February 25th in
This talk is by no means a sales/marketing pitch, but is
very much a technical, conference-style seminar similar to ones we’ve
presented at SDWest, JavaOne, etc.
If you can not post this type of announcement, would you
please pass this on to anyone else who might benefit from this free seminar?
Let me know if you have any questions, or if there is a more
appropriate person to send this to.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Hi,
I just wanted to invite everyone to a free seminar entitled “Use
Cases and the Ever-Unfolding Story”. Net Objectives’ Senior
Consultant Doug Shimp will be presenting the talk, which will be held on
Wednesday, February 25, 2004 from 6:30-9pm at the Schaumburg Regional Airport
Meeting Room. Pizza and beverages will be provided.
It is a particularly exciting talk because the speaker, Doug Shimp, is
one of only a handful of people certified to teach Alistair Cockburn’s
Writing Effective Use Cases course based on the book of the same title.
This talk not only introduces Alistair’s pragmatic concepts but also
takes them a step further by discussing how to develop use cases in an agile
manner. This seminar is for anyone who wants to understand how to develop
requirements for a software system. It is applicable for all who must be
familiar with developing requirements for a software project, including
analysts, architects, programmers, and so on...

Use Cases and the Ever-Unfolding Story
Abstract:
Capturing functional requirements with Use Cases is a software
development best practice. The Ever-Unfolding Story is an iterative technique
for expanding these use cases into more detailed requirements models. This

the Ever-Unfolding Story for refining use cases into more detailed
requirements.

Biography of presenter:
Douglas E. Shimp has 15 years experience in the technology field. He
has played all roles in software development (developer, QA, Analyst, Manager,
Leader etc) and has established himself as a leader in the field. Most recently
Doug worked in the finance industry as a leader for the management and
development of core finance technology. The finance company was a child for a
much larger parent that needed an emergent business/technology trend setter to
push its IT systems forward. Doug was successful in enabling the parent company
to attain a dominant market position by providing incubation space for the
innovation of key finance technology. One of Doug’s distinctions is his
focus on the interaction of technology and corporate cultural issues. He is
certified by both Cockburn and Associates to teach “Writing Effective Use
Cases” and Advanced Development Methods as a Scrum Master.
