“The process of pulling value from a project injects features into the system”.

Feature Injection is a Tool for Business Analysts. It allows us to identify the minimum marketable features.

This approach is a synthesis of traditional analysis techniques (UML etc.) and TDD / BDD. Feature Injection is a fast, lightweight technique that avoids analysis paralysis. The Business Analyst knows when they are finished in the same way a Developer knows they are finished in TDD / BDD.

Feature Injection is based on Real Options and Kolb’s Model of Learning.
