Description

Project managers use this Capability Pattern as a way to perform a goal-based planning and management. Work is assigned to developers and work progress is tracked based on the goals to be achieved, i.e., the designed, unit-tested and integrated source code.

A context can be specified when a requirement is assigned to be developed, thus specifying how broadly a requirement is to be developed in a iteration -- development may be focused on a layer (e.g., user-interface, business logic or database access), on a component and so on.

Whether a context is specified or not, developer's responsibility is to create a design and implementation for that requirement, then to write and run unit tests against the implementation to make sure the implementation works as designed, both as a unit and integrated into the code base.
