+# Goals
+
+### Goals for the end-user
+
+* Easy-to-use user interface
+  * Consistent structure for commands, parameters and options 
+  * User needs to provide only data which is required for the specific task
+    * e.g. data that can be derived from other data should not need to be provided
+  * Informative feedback - in both cases:
+    * Success
+      * high-level information about the performed actions is shown - possibly enriched with selected useful details
+    * Failure
+      * clear information about the error is shown - and where applicable, possible solutions are mentioned
+  * Intuitive user-interface, which requires only little documentation - but where necessary, documentation is provided either in the 
+    * help function or
+    * in separate documents (e.g. in cases where longer explanations are helpful)
+
+### Goals for the developer
+
+* Easy-to-understand architecture and code
+  * clear architecture (with high-level documentation)
+  * clear control flow
+  * sufficient control about the order of execution
+  * consistent and intuitive naming of modules, fields and functions
+  * documentation where helpful
+
+### Goals for end-user and developers
+
+* Clear modularization concept
+  * modules can be run separately (in the sense that they only involve other modules where strictly required)
+    * similar to the interface segregation principle but on module level 
+    * useful for developers e.g. for integration testing and for maintainability of the code (due to less dependencies)
+    * for end-users for selected modules, i.e. if they have a need to run the module separately  
+  * modules can be easily combined by developers in order to provide composed functionality
+  * modules require minimal input (i.e. only input which is strictly necessary for their execution)
+      * similar to the interface segregation principle but on data-level
