 |
| The Intent layer deals with how to channel the intent of stakeholders to the rest of the development team, to ensure
 |
| that validated builds with incremental capabilities reflect stakeholder intents. This is done by capturing and
 |
| communicating the <a class="elementLinkWithUserText" href="./../../openup/workproducts/vision_2E71B03C.html" guid="_0WVxcMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw">vision</a> to all team members, and by translating the vision into test cases and
 |
| requirements of different types. This allows the team to understand what capabilities need to be delivered to address
 |
| stakeholder intent.
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| You find the most tasks for the Intent layer in the <strong>Requirements</strong> discipline, and the task to
 |
| create test cases in the <strong>Test</strong> discipline. The corresponding work products are found under
 |
| <strong>Requirements</strong> and <strong>Test</strong> domains.
 |

 |

 |
| The Intent layer is built upon the foundational <a class="elementLink" href="./../../openup/customcategories/collab_commun_layer_A3CDA6EF.html" guid="_r8cVIEmbEdu0xduwSKie-w">Communication and collaboration layer</a>. That layer constitutes the backbone of OpenUP
 |
| in order to reflect the following:
 |
| </p>
 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| All roles in OpenUP are involved in intent development to ensure that, as a minimum, all team members properly
 |
| understand stakeholders’ intent.
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Make sure that the best practices for collaborative development provided in the collaboration layer guides any work
 |
| related to intent.
 |
| </li>
 |
| </ul>
 |
| <p>
 |
| The intent layer is written in such a way that your organization can modify it to fit your style of development
 |
| and stakeholder collaboration, without necessarily impacting how you deal with the other layers (<a class="elementLink" href="./../../openup/customcategories/management_layer_DF9A1A7F.html" guid="_Aoz2gEmcEdu0xduwSKie-w">Management layer</a><a class="elementLinkWithUserText" href="./../../openup/customcategories/management_layer_DF9A1A7F.html" guid="_Aoz2gEmcEdu0xduwSKie-w"> </a>and <a class="elementLink" href="./../../openup/customcategories/solution_layer_8AA9BF96.html" guid="_HEVvgEmcEdu0xduwSKie-w">Solution layer</a>).
