Imagine you are employed at a hypothetical company called “The Big Picture Corp” where the product department is requesting a tool to download a list of images from a plain text file. For now, there are not many requirements from the product yet and you only know that they want a simple command line tool for downloading images from a list of URLs and storing them on the local hard drive. From the product vision however, it’s already clear that having the functionality of batch-downloading images will be important to the product and is likely to be used in several different contexts.
