How to Use Case Modeling & RequisitePro
RequisitePro, a computer software system offered by IBM, is a project management program that can help project managers organize, track and analyze data pertaining to specific projects. Case modeling elements have been implemented to work in collaboration with RequisitePro, so that managers have access to use cases and their relationships through case modeling diagrams. Using case modeling and RequisitePro takes time to learn, but practice working through the program to help become more fluent.

Select the text tool, which is located in the menu bar of the diagram editor, to provide a title for the diagram. Find the Palette -- also in the menu bar -- and double-click "Use Case," which allows you to type text into the diagram so that you can label the use cases. The Palette also allows you to create the relationships between the use cases and the users. After you select the Palette, click on "Association." Go back to the diagram editor and choose the actor and drag him into the appropriate use case element that you want the actor to be related to. This is reflected in the diagram as a person with a line drawn to the case element, which depicts the relationship.
