How to Include Non-Technical Users in Feature Management

Dev and Ops teams use feature flags to safely separate code deployments from feature releases. This allows them to ship code when ready, and then control when they expose new features to users.

Join our discussion about how adopting a flag-first mentality can help everyone in an organization collaborate more effectively and ultimately have more successful launches.
