Design and engineering teams utilize use cases to build a shared understanding of what a product does and how users might interact with it.
In our latest blog post, our #UX Designer details the unique way we apply use cases to guide smarter design decisions—right from the start of a project!

Use cases as a brainstorming tool
Use cases define how users interact with a product or system, including actions users can take and how the system responds. It also identifies user goals and paths for the system to handle errors.
