Hi Business Modelers,

I'm wondering how people trace business use cases to system use cases. Are 
you modeling your business processes as black box organizational use cases, 
then creating business use case realization(s) to show how business workers 
use information systems as resources? If so, do you map the system use case 
to <<business entity>> classes?

I find that creating black box organizational use cases, then tracing them 
to white box organizational use cases is generally easier (all in text in 
other words). In the body of the white box business use case, you simply 
hyperlink to the system use cases included in the business use case. Its 
simple. Of course you still create a business concept model (class diagram).

The black box business use case answers the question - "Is your business 
addressing the needs of its customers?" The related (i.e. same name)white 
box system use case answer the question - "How does your organization 
satisfy those needs?"

Regards,
-Richard
