Summary

LaunchDarkly has reimagined experimentation capabilities to better align with the workflow and mental model of product managers, aiming to address the complexities of the product management role. Traditionally, experimentation platforms have catered more to technical users, often sidelining product managers who are pivotal in driving experimentation success. LaunchDarkly's new system emphasizes a user experience that is clear, collaborative, and credible, integrating features like Event Explorer and Experiment Builder to enhance visibility, self-sufficiency, and ease of collaboration. The Event Explorer allows product managers to track and validate metric events, promoting independence from engineering tasks, while the Experiment Builder provides a visual, step-by-step interface for defining experiments and collaborating asynchronously with cross-functional teams. The Results View offers clear, research-backed visualizations and actionable insights, enabling product managers to confidently make decisions and communicate outcomes to stakeholders. Designed to fit seamlessly into existing workflows, this system reduces friction and empowers product managers to independently manage experiments, enhancing their ability to deliver real outcomes without relying on technical intermediaries.
