# Overview

> Build the right things with evidence-based product development

Features are your product roadmap items - the things you're planning to build. Connect them to customer feedback to make confident prioritization decisions.

## What are Features?

Features represent product capabilities you're considering, planning, or building:

* New functionality to add
* Improvements to existing features
* Bug fixes and technical debt
* Any work that impacts your product

## The Features Workflow

### 1. Create Features

Add features as you identify potential product work:

* From customer insights
* During planning sessions
* From internal ideas
* When bugs are reported

### 2. Connect Customer Evidence

Link insights to features to build your case:

* See how many customers want each feature
* Read actual customer quotes
* Understand use cases and context
* Quantify demand

### 3. Organize and Prioritize

Use properties and views to manage your roadmap:

* Set priority levels
* Assign to team members
* Track status through development
* Group by themes or releases

## Key Capabilities

**Custom Properties** - Add fields specific to your workflow (effort, impact, deadline)

**Multiple Views** - Table and kanban layouts with saved filter combinations

**Team Collaboration** - Comments, assignments, and activity tracking

**Evidence-Based** - Every feature shows linked customer feedback

## Status Workflow

Features move through these stages:

| Status        | Purpose                                  |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **New Idea**  | Early stage concept, gathering feedback  |
| **Discovery** | Researching feasibility and requirements |
| **Backlog**   | Approved but not yet scheduled           |
| **Planned**   | Committed to roadmap with timeline       |
| **Delivery**  | Actively being built                     |
| **Beta**      | Testing with limited users               |
| **Releasing** | Rolling out to all users                 |
| **Released**  | Fully shipped and available              |
