functionalitythat

Functionalitythat is a neologism used in information technology and product design to refer to the total set of capabilities provided by a product, system, or service. It captures what the product can do and how it can be used to achieve user goals, focusing on outcomes rather than internal implementation. The term is informal and not widely standardized, but it appears in design discussions to emphasize delivered value.

Its scope includes user-facing features, workflows, data handling, and performance characteristics, as well as interoperability points such as application programming interfaces and integrations with other services. Nonfunctional aspects—security, accessibility, localization, privacy, and reliability—also contribute to the overall functionalitythat. In practice, teams describe functionalitythat through feature descriptions, acceptance criteria, and use-case scenarios to ensure alignment with requirements.

Evaluation of functionalitythat supports prioritization and trade-off decisions, helping teams decide how broad or deep a feature set should be, what constitutes minimum viable functionality, and how to balance new capabilities with maintenance and compatibility. Because functionalitythat is not a standardized term, precise meaning depends on organizational context and documentation.

Related concepts include functionality, feature set, capabilities, and user experience.
