feature-driven
Prioritizing specific functionalities
Feature-driven describes development or design organized around specific features rather than other priorities like timeline, budget, or underlying architecture.
In software, feature-driven development breaks projects into discrete, user-facing capabilities: The team adopted a feature-driven approach, releasing new functionality every two weeks.
The term applies beyond tech—any process that lets desired features determine the workflow qualifies.
