Secondly, while established [[Software development process|software processes]] refine requirements down to an implementation, the Goal-driven Development Process recommends trying to find an optimal mapping between business objectives and capabilities of

the technical platform in an ''iterative'' process, equally considering and adjusting business goals and technical aspects to come to an optimal, ''convergent'' solution.

The core activities are:

*# '''Identification and prioritization of goals''' (small groups of at most 5 people consisting of stakeholders and/or business analysts, and programmers)

*# '''Vertical distribution of tasks''' (selected goals are assigned to groups of at most 4 programmers)

*# '''Implementation and testing''' (implementation-driven tests during implementation, goal-driven tests at the end of each iteration)

These activities can be also divided into six main steps <ref name="CASE" />:

# '''Group requirements by goals'''

# '''Formalize behaviors inside processes'''

# '''Monitor advancement in the realization of the goals (optional)'''

# '''Assign responsibilities to participants'''

# '''Plug behaviors in the architectural and play'''

# '''Integrate application constraints of the actors'''
