Control: For the User, by the User, of the User

Feature Management is a tool that creates a feedback loop for product development, allowing companies to analyze user behavior data and make more informed decisions. By using feature flags as counters to track user interaction with given sections of code, businesses can create models for user interaction that can be quantified, leading to more data-driven decisions for their products. Controlled releases of features in the context of experiments help collect user behavior data and improve product development. Feature management also allows for faster recovery from mistakes by enabling quick iteration and adjustment based on customer feedback. Additionally, it helps maintain clean code by tracking feature flag usage and expiration dates, reducing technical debt. Overall, feature management complements DevOps methodology by bringing business metrics into the Continuous Delivery model.
