    Sub-flows are useful for re-using a common flow or as outcomes of a case statement
    If the sub-flow is common between two use cases, or very large, then it may be splt out into a seperate use case document and shown as a seperate use case symbol on the diagram with and 'include' relationship showing its use.
    An alternate flow is a conditional flow that knows how to insert itself in the original flow.
    If the alternate flow is very large, or optional functionality, then it may be moved to a seperate use case document and shown on the diagram as a seperate use case symbol with an 'extend' relationship to the use case it extends.
    An activity diagram can be created to show the overall flow of the use case but should not replace the use case text.
    A prototype screen is a useful second user-facing view of a use case and should be consistent with the use case text.
    A use case document template is useful to ensure consistency of use case text standards across a project.
