Feature creep is costing you thousands: Here’s the fix

Feature creep or feature bloat is the gradual expansion of product scope through the continuous addition of new features, each seemingly essential but collectively dangerous.
Feature creep results in extended timelines, inflated budgets, delayed market entry, increased technical debt, confused users, team burnout, and missed market opportunities.
Feature creep emerges from seemingly rational decisions such as trying to match competitors' features, pressure to say yes to customer requests, 'executive decision-maker syndrome', and natural tendencies from the product team itself to innovate.
Feature creep often stems from unclear product vision and trying to navigate without a compass. Market understanding gaps also compound this issue.
Saying no to feature creep is a skill that can be done professionally by explaining the data behind the decision and providing alternatives.
To address feature bloat, start with a feature inventory, map out everything the product does and gather three critical data points for each feature.
Pragmatic prioritization can be done through impact vs. effort, cost vs. value, and strategic fit analysis.
Removing or simplifying features progress can be done by starting with unused and overcomplicated workflows, followed by eliminating duplicate functionality and creating a dependency map.
A phased approach is recommended for implementation with notices to users and offering alternatives.
Successful removal of features is not just in the code deletion but also in the metrics that follow: decreased support tickets, improved performance metrics, and stable or improved user satisfaction scores.

Leader Spotlight: Building truly differentiated products, with Aashir Shroff

Aashir Shroff is the GM & VP of Product at Eightfold, a company that's leveraging cutting-edge innovation to redefine how organizations harness talent.
Oftentimes, as you look at the products that you're building in any space, you can be put in a situation where you're making slightly better versions of something that's already out there.

The product that we brought to them uses AI to automatically do that behind the scenes. They can open up a requisition, set the requirements of what they're looking for, and we provide a funnel of people that meet those criteria.
