Using diagrams to help define project requirements.
Writing project requirements can be a challenging task for any project team. One way to get the job done is to build use case diagrams and write use case descriptions. Activity diagrams are then used to show the sequence of events. Use cases model and describe the capabilities your users need in a straightforward way. In Writing Project Requirements with Use Cases, Susan Weese guides you through the components of use case diagrams and descriptions, building brief, casual and fully dressed use cases to document project requirements.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
