Webinar Summary Highlights
The focus is on the evolution and improvement of software applications through agile development. Feature flags and insight help release features faster and with safety. Testing and measuring possibilities is emphasized without sacrificing lunch breaks. The importance of collaboration, learning, and best practices is highlighted. The building blocks of best practice are described: a collaborative platform, data-driven decision-making, security and scalability, and education and guidance.
Updates and enhancements in Split’s platform are mentioned to support these building blocks. Split is positioned as the market leader for feature management on G2. Split has surpassed 8 trillion flag evaluations per month, reaching over 7 billion users and devices. Approximately 70,000 active experiments are running on the Split platform. Split will prioritize features and make it easy for teams to adopt the platform.
The roundtable discussion is a follow-up to a previous webinar on securing CFO buy-in. Key takeaways from the previous webinar include knowing when to ask for investment, relating proposals to key metrics, considering the discrete investment and its return, and tying the project’s impact to the company’s financial statements. It is recommended to start investing in free solutions to understand their value before making a case for paid versions. The first question discussed is about tools or internal methods to assess ROI, with headcount reallocation mentioned as an effective approach.
