Envisioning
An Envision Track addresses one of the most fundamental requirements for project success -- unification of a project team behind a common vision. A tea must have a clear vision of what it wants to accomplish and be able to state it in terms that motivate the entire team and the customer. Envisioning, by creating a high-level view of a project's goals and constraints, is an early form of planning; it sets the stage for the more detailed planing process that takes place during a project's Plan Track.

Product Manager
The Product Manager acts as a managed conduit between the business world and the project team. In the beginning of the project lifecycle, he drives gathering requirements, expectations, and constraints and distills them into a solution definition. As a project progresses, Product management works with the team to clarify what has been gathered and works with stakeholders to refine expectations. As a solution starts to take form, they reverse the conduit flow to start to prepare stakeholders for the coming solution.
