Fit For Purpose

A product that appropriately serves its intended use.

Key Points

  • Focuses on whether the deliverable fulfills the intended user need and purpose.
  • Measured against stakeholder requirements, acceptance criteria, and the definition of done.
  • Does not require extra features or gold-plating if they do not improve the intended outcome.
  • Validated through reviews, tests, demos, and real user feedback, often via MVPs or prototypes.

Example

An agile team delivers a simple inventory app that lets warehouse staff scan items and update stock counts offline. It passes acceptance tests and solves the daily tracking need, so it is fit for purpose even though advanced analytics are scheduled for a later release.
