Back to Feature Driven Development (FDD)
Guide to Client-Valued Functionality (Features)

Client-valued functionality, often simply referred to as 'features', is a fundamental concept in project management, recognized especially within the Agile methodology and the PMI-ACP (Project Management Institute Agile Certified Practitioner) framework.

What is it?
Client-valued functionality refers to the aspects of a product or transaction that the client perceives as adding value. This might include components of the product itself or elements of customer service or support. The goal is to prioritize these features in production to enhance customer satisfaction.

Why is it important?
Understanding what clients value is crucial for aligning the efforts of product and service delivery with customer needs, increasing the potential for business success. This supports customer-centric approaches and fosters improved client relationships.

How it works?
In an Agile environment, the client-valued features are prioritized on the product backlog. The team will then focus on delivering the most valuable functions first. This setup ensures maximum value delivery early in the project.

Exam Tips: Answering Questions on Client-valued Functionality (Features)

One of the key tenets of FDD is its focus on client-valued functionality or features. Here, the development process is organized around making progress on features which are of value to the client or user. These are small pieces of functionality that are meaningful and valuable from the customer's perspective. Prioritizing client-valued features ensures that every feature developed adds value to the project and the client or user. It also provides more frequent opportunities for customer approval and feedback.
