  Abstract: This report describes the application of usage-centered design with essential use cases to a social services information system used by social workers to manage their case loads within the context of their county-run social service program and to report data to the state. Essential use cases and other related techniques brought clarity to the system design and development process when it was floundering from a surplus of information at varying levels of detail and from design decisions made prematurely.
  Keywords: essential use cases, usage-centered design, application development, use case extensions, task modeling
