Main Description

The team shall identify the set of features using the knowledge obtained from process #1. This is simple functional decomposition into subject areas that comes from the partitioning of the domain by the domain experts for their domain area walkthroughs in process #1. It is decomposed into subject areas that comprise business activities that comprise business activity steps (features).

Features are granular functions expressed in client-valued terms using this naming template:
<action> <result> <object>
For example, calculate the total of a sale, calculate the total quantity sold by a retail outlet for an item description Features are granular in accordance with the rule that a feature will take no more than two weeks to complete, but not so granular as to be at the level of getters and setters. Two weeks is an upper limit; most
features take less than this time. When a business activity step looks larger than two weeks, the step is broken into smaller steps that then become features.
