Overview

 

Actors and their goals represent the system functionality at a high level of abstraction. Review this information with the stakeholders of the system to ensure that all Actors and their goals have been identified and documented.

 

Using TopTeam you can generate different types of documents that will help you review this information with the stakeholders.
 

 

To generate the Actors and Goals document for stakeholder reviews, follow these steps:

 

 

 

Go to the Use Cases tab, and choose Generate Document > using Shared Templates.

 

 

 

Select the desired template. We will select the "Actors Tabular Landscape" template which ships with the application. If you wish, you can also create a custom template by editing this template in a word processor.

 

Click  Generate...

 

 

 

The document is generated and launched into Microsoft Word.

 

 

 

Review the document

 

You can use this document to review the following points with stakeholders:

 

 

You can also take advantage of the Comments and Discussions tabs available on the Actor editor to document the feedback gathered from the stakeholders. Alternatively, you can record the feedback using the Minutes of Meeting documenting facility of TopTeam.

 

 

 
Step Complete

 

You have now reviewed the Actors and their Goals with the stakeholders and incorporated their feedback as well as the priorities.

 

Proceed to the next step Convert Actors' Goals into Use Cases.
