eiginleikastýrð

Eiginleikastýrð is an Icelandic term that translates to "feature-driven" in English. It refers to a development methodology or approach where the primary focus is on the features of a product or system rather than on other aspects like technical architecture or user interface design in isolation.

In a feature-driven development process, work is organized around the delivery of customer-facing features. Development teams identify, prioritize, and build these features iteratively. This means that the product is built in small increments, with each increment adding a set of new features or improving existing ones. The emphasis is on delivering tangible value to the user throughout the development lifecycle.

This approach often contrasts with traditional methods where development might be organized around technical components or long development phases. Feature-driven development promotes flexibility and responsiveness to changing requirements, as the focus on delivering complete features allows for easier integration of feedback and adjustments. It also aims to improve communication and collaboration by providing a clear understanding of what is being built and why it is valuable. The success of the project is often measured by the successful implementation and delivery of these features.
