FeaturesIntended

FeaturesIntended is a concept in software development and project management that refers to the set of functionalities, characteristics, or attributes that a product or system is designed to possess. These features are intended to meet specific requirements, solve particular problems, or achieve certain goals. They are typically derived from user needs, market research, and stakeholder expectations. FeaturesIntended are distinct from FeaturesImplemented, which are the actual functionalities that have been developed and released. The gap between FeaturesIntended and FeaturesImplemented can indicate areas where the project may need further development, refinement, or re-prioritization. Effective management of FeaturesIntended involves clear communication, stakeholder alignment, and continuous evaluation to ensure that the final product meets user expectations and business objectives.
