\item What's the goal of the thesis in a nutshell? (Probably: solve that problem/analyze the solution suggested by Eti \cite{testref}/compare potential solutions/\dots)
\item Then go into detail. What are the specifics of what you are going to do? Explain intermediate goals.
\item Explain optional goals.
\item This section should be \emph{concise}!
It is typically no more than half a page.
If you need to provide (a lot of) contextual information to explain a goal, it is better to put that information in section 1 or section 2 than in this section.
