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.
