A distinct piece of functionality or capability within a software application that provides value to the user.
A feature is like an app on your smartphone—it adds a specific functionality that you can use, such as a camera or messaging app.
A “search” feature on a website that allows users to find specific content, or a “checkout” feature in an e-commerce app that processes payments.
Features are what users interact with and rely on, making them central to the user experience and overall product value.
Developing the right features can attract and retain users, drive revenue, and differentiate a product in the market.
Prioritize features based on user needs and business goals; test features thoroughly before release; gather user feedback to refine features.
Adding too many features without considering user needs; failing to test features properly; releasing features that are incomplete or buggy.
Feature usage rate, user satisfaction, feature adoption rate.
Jira, Trello, Feature Flags (for controlling feature rollouts).
