BA Bites - What the Hell is a Feature?
BA Bites - What the Hell is a Feature? In this episode of BA Bites, we challenge the conventional wisdom around features. Are they truly the atomic units of software development? We delve into the historical perspective of features as product differentiators and examine how this definition has evolved in the age of agile methodologies. We'll discuss the pitfalls of feature-centric approaches and argue that a higher-level view, focusing on user needs and business objectives, is more effective. By prioritizing user stories and high-level requirements, we can build products that truly deliver value. Join us as we explore alternative approaches to breaking down complex systems and discuss how to shift the focus from features to outcomes. Get ready to rethink your approach to product development and discover a more effective way to build software.
