It may well be that foragers switched from gathering wild wheat to intense wheat cultivation, not to increase their normal food supply, but rather to support the building and running of a temple. In the conventional picture, pioneers first built a village, and when it prospered, they set up a temple in the middle.

By understanding the desired outcome for a feature, you can help reorient the team to thinking about not just what makes something “done” but what makes it useful and usable to the end user. That way, if the feature isn’t achieving the desired outcome, you have a good reason to recommend that the team keep **iterating on the feature until it’s actually achieving a goal rather than just shipped**.
