scalability

Vocabulary Word

Definition

The term 'scalability' refers to the ability of a process, network, software, or organisation to grow and manage an increased demand. So, if a business can maintain or increase its level of performance or efficiency even as it gets larger, we say it has good scalability.

Examples in Different Contexts

In social initiatives, scalability implies multiplying impact. An NGO head might remark, 'Our water project in Village A was successful. Let's scale it to other regions.'
