Description

This pattern, or set of activities, groups together those activities that are required to develop the initial vision for the project.  Since the individual activities that are required to accomplish the goal of developing the initial vision are not of particular interest by themselves, including this high-level pattern in iteration plans emphasizes the goal to be achieved, but leaves the details of activities it takes to do this to the next level of detail. This allows an activity diagram, such as an iteration workflow, to show these activities going on, without excessively cluttering up the diagram.
