This is the time of the year when trees change colors and the leaves start falling. Whether you like pumpkin spice lattes or not, it's a great time of year. The other thing that has dropped lately is a study of 500 engineering leaders proving that engineering teams are taking the lead over product teams in getting value from feature experimentation. Those who succeed at this have one capability in common: the ability to measure impact at the feature level. Those without that kind of measurement in hand reported just a 1 in 6 record of success with their initiatives.
What's behind the uptick in engineering-led experimentation? The efficiency and scalability gains won from using feature flags with built-in measurement. It started with smarter release monitoring, where alerts don't just point to symptoms but rather to the flag causing those symptoms. It sped up when flags became capable of bringing back their own performance and error data right out of the box. From there, it was a quick leap to conducting experiments with those same flags.
