Feature
Definition
A distinct capability or function within software.
In Plain English
Features are like options on a car—each one adds a specific capability to the base product.
Real-World Example
Search functionality, user comments, and payment processing are all features you might add to a website.
Why It Matters for Your Work
Understanding features helps you prioritize what to build first and evaluate software options objectively.
Common Mistake
Requesting too many features at once. Start with essential features and add more based on actual user needs.
