Now let's take a look at the map we've built. In Figure 2-1, you can see that we have made a subtle yet important transition in our thinking in this process. We have moved from the problem domain, represented by the cloud and the user needs we discovered , to a definition of a system that will constitute the solution domain, represented by the features of the system and the software requirements that will drive its design and implementation. Moreover, we have done so in a logical, stepwise fashion, making sure to understand the problem and the user's needs before we envision or define the solution. This road map, along with its significant distinctions, will continue to be important throughout this book. Figure 2-1. Overview of the problem domain and the solution domain
