Thanks for your input Sally. How I would actually apply use cases and user stories is going to be very dependent on the domain, project, skill set, and my responsibilities as the BA. Lots of options – the important thing is to be sure you are using your analytical skills to discover all the requirements and also communicating them in a way that both your business and technical stakeholders can understand and work from.

And yes, I mean use case descriptions, not use case diagrams.

You don’t actually explain how you use both use cases and user stories. Please could you try and make this a bit clearer?
It is also always good to distinguish between a use case diagram and the longer use case descriptions when talking about use cases. I am guessing you are talking about use case descriptions in this article.
I use use case diagrams to start with, and then, if doing agile, move to user stories and write these so that they eventually contain similar info as would be in a use case description.
It is helpful to explain that use cases come from uml (historically), and that user stories come from agile, and that the two don’t join up theoretically!
