In system design, a use case is <em>a sequenced list of actions that a user must take to achieve a goal with a software application, service, or platform<\/em>.

The result of the survey found that people do not interact with the app profile section. Seeing this, the decision-makers could easily conclude that the interface needs redesigning and develop a use case for re-designing the interface.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s now incorporate a persona, generated from the survey data by the steps in the <a href=\"https:\/\/persona.qcri.org\/blog\/how-to-create-a-persona\/\">persona creation process<\/a> to get the following persona: \u201cSam, who is in his mid-30\u2019s, loves to gain knowledge about how things work in his free time, but is not tech-savvy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Now the stakeholders could think, why would someone like Sam not interact with the apps profile feature to get some more profound understanding of its functions, why Sam would use the feature, and what would keep Sam from interacting with the feature.<\/p>\n<p>In this scenario, the persona becomes the foundation from which to develop the use case for interface re-design or to even decide if the interface re-design is even needed.<\/p>\n<p>To understand this, they can ask someone, fitting Sam\u2019s characteristics, to role-play \u2018Sam\u2019 using the app [2].\u00a0The flow of interactions between this actor (playing Sam) and the app will be known as a <strong>use case scenario<\/strong> or <strong>use case story<\/strong>.\u00a0This scenario could be recorded and used by other teams for future reference.<\/p>\n<p>From this persona \u2013 use case integration, it might become clear that the profile feature is not only hard to find, but only a handful of users familiar with similar apps know to navigate to the profile section.<\/p>\n<p>Now the decision-makers involved in product improvement can instruct the app developers to develop a use case with a clearer understanding of the user as a foundation to guide the development of the sequential steps in the use case.<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>[1] Jansen, B.
