The importance of Requirements Engineering in a Systems/Product Life Cycle context does not get the attention it deserves. Requirements definition practices mainly concentrate on defining functionality and selecting conditions for systems so that the system is sold successfully. Use‐case modeling, which is part of the Unified Modeling Language, is getting a lot attention these days. It defines scenarios of system usage to reach a specified goal. Unified Modeling Language is widely used in software development projects but the Use‐case modeling is only applied to requirements discovery. This paper describes the increased value of Use‐cases when using them in a wider scope, in the context of a Systems/Product Life Cycle. The paper starts with an introduction on Requirements management and Use‐case modeling, followed by some facts on the value of combining Use‐case modeling and Requirements managemen. Finally statements are made on the value of Requirements management and Use‐case modeling in Product Life‐Cycle context.
