Mis on feature parity ja kas on vajalik?

Feature parity is the state where a product or its version contains the same set of functionalities as another product (for example, a competitor or a previous version).

The need for feature parity depends on the goals:

• When entering a new market or replacing a product, it is important to ensure a basic set of features so as not to lose users.
• However, blindly copying features of competitors without considering the uniqueness of the product can lead to loss of competitive advantages.
• Sometimes, it is better to focus on key features and improve user experience rather than fully replicating all capabilities.

Therefore, feature parity is useful as a guideline, but should not be an end in itself. It is important to understand which features are truly important for users and the business.
