In times of economic recession, businesses must continue investing in their ability to deliver value while minimizing risks and costs. One approach is to make smaller, more frequent software releases rather than large quarterly ones. This reduces the impact of potential failures and allows for faster recovery. Feature management and CI/CD pipelines enable organizations to deploy "broken" code into production without affecting anything, allowing for continuous testing and integration. Breaking features into smaller testable units also helps reduce the cost of development by enabling developers to catch errors early on in the process. Overall, making smaller bets through feature management and CI/CD increases business agility and reduces risk during uncertain economic times.
