Feature Map Creation - Understanding the Feature Landscape

Foundational Principle

Feature relationships and boundaries must be mapped before architectural decisions.

Jumping from PRD to TRD without mapping creates:

• Architectures that don't match feature interaction patterns
• Missing integration points discovered late
• Poor module boundaries that cross feature concerns

The Feature Map answers: How do features relate, group, and interact at a business level? The Feature Map never answers: How we'll technically implement those features (that's TRD).
