Silent Blockers That Slow Government IT Transformation

The text discusses the challenges faced by public sector agencies in modernizing their systems and migrating to microservices due to inconsistent release controls, risky code releases, lack of confidence in releases, and complicated legacy testing environments. It introduces feature management as a solution to these problems, which involves using conditional statements (feature flags) to control features in a precise and rule-based manner. Feature management can help improve continuous delivery practices, reduce or eliminate costly pre-production testing, enable experimentation without risk, streamline security, and automate the feature flag lifecycle. Overall, enterprise feature management is presented as a powerful tool that can help government agencies overcome silent blockers hindering their IT transformation efforts and achieve their modernization goals more efficiently and effectively.
