Draw a box around the assistant system you’re modeling, e.g., “LexPak Criminal Law Assistant”.
- 03List the use cases
Capture the main tasks: research caselaw, manage evidence, schedule court dates, generate documents, send client updates.
- 04Connect actors to use cases
Draw association lines to show who performs which use cases.
- 05Add includes and extends
Refine your diagram with relationships like “include” for shared behavior and “extend” for optional flows.
