About the [UML Use Case Diagram] template
Since the 1990's the Universal Modelling Language (UML) has been the lingua franca of how people document IT systems. It is an internationally recognized standard consisting of 14 diagrams in two categories: behavior diagrams (that document how systems work and interact) and structural diagrams (that document how systems are structured.
The UML Use Case Diagram is without doubt the most common behavioral diagram. It visually represents the functional requirements of a system, illustrating the interactions between users (actors) and the system to achieve specific goals (use cases).
Who can use this [UML Use Case Diagram] template
This template can be used by anyone who needs to create a UML Use Case Diagram.
How to use this [UML Use Case Diagram] template
This template contains two sample UML Use Case diagrams: one that has been created with Miro's built-in diagramming symbols, and one that uses some custom symbols. For simple diagrams, the built-in Miro symbols will probably work well. But in some cases (such as when the text is very long) not all the built-in Miro symbols will look as aesthetically pleasing as they could.
What this [UML Use Case Diagram] helps you accomplish
If you need to create a UML Use Case diagram, this template can hopefully make the job a bit easier and faster. Instead of starting from scratch, you can copy-and-paste this diagram into your own template and customize as you require.
Tips and best practices
Identify your actors and systems clearly
Keep it simple and high-level
Use descriptive names (e.g. "order pizza")
Take a goal-oriented approach. In other words, what goals do the actors have and what use cases are required for the actors to achieve their goals.
