Fit For Use

A deliverable that, in its present state, can be effectively used by its intended users to fulfill the purpose it was designed for.

Key Points

  • Emphasizes immediate usability and readiness, not future potential.
  • Different from "fit for purpose": purpose asks if it solves the right problem; use asks if it can be used now.
  • Typically confirmed through acceptance criteria, definition of done, demos, or user validation/UAT.
  • May still be improved later; incremental releases can be fit for use even without every feature.

Example

An Agile team delivers a basic reporting dashboard with working filters and accurate data. Export to PDF is not ready, but managers can already analyze weekly performance in the tool. It is fit for use because it can be used immediately to meet its intended goal.

PMP Example Question

During a sprint review, the product owner must decide if the increment is fit for use. Which option best reflects this concept?

  1. The increment looks elegant but is not yet deployable to users.
  2. The increment meets acceptance criteria and can be used now by its intended users to achieve their goal.
  3. The increment includes every feature on the product roadmap.
  4. The increment has zero defects of any kind.

Correct Answer: B — Usable now to serve its intended purpose

Explanation: Fit for use means the product, as delivered, can be used immediately by its intended users to accomplish the intended outcome, typically evidenced by meeting acceptance criteria and the definition of done.
