During a requirement's life cycle it goes through several people's hands and different groups processes. Each of these areas has different needs and wants to view their Items differently.
| • | For those early in the cycle creating documents or decomposing requirements may be important so they work within the Explorer view which provides a hierarchical view. |
| • | Developers or members of the test team need to know what Items are assigned to them and the priority of each Item so they prefer the Filter view. |
| • | Product Managers planning the next release want to see a list of all Items regardless of their Set in one list, so they may use the Releases view. |
| • | Technical Writers may just be browsing a Project to learn about high-level features, so they could start with the Tags view that would show a list of similar topic Items. |
