LaunchDarkly is a feature management platform that empowers all teams to safely deliver and control software through feature flags. By separating code deployments from feature releases, LaunchDarkly enables you to deploy faster, reduce risk, and iterate continuously. Microsoft, IBM, Atlassian, and 1000+ organizations use LaunchDarkly to build, operate, and learn from their software.

The world's elite software teams have figured out how to do Continuous Delivery safely. They employ techniques such as feature flagging, blue-green deployments, and canary launches—to name a few—that allow them to continuously deploy to production with little risk. While these sorts of techniques originated in a CI/CD context, together they represent a new approach to software development, one that prioritizes risk reduction, business outcomes, and control. This new approach is called "Progressive Delivery."


In this webinar, you will learn:

- How Progressive Delivery differs Continuous Delivery, and why it matters
- The two major tenets of Progressive Delivery: Release Progression and Progressive Delegation
- How enterprises are putting Progressive Delivery into action in the real world

Progressive Delivery: A new development lifecycle for the modern enterprise

Businesses must continuously modernize their digital applications to meet evolving customer needs. But migrating data and users to new systems can be a daunting task for DevOps teams. While feature management is primarily known for helping teams deliver features faster and with less risk, it can also act as a blueprint for safe, progressive migrations.

Join this session to learn how your team can use feature management to accelerate your modernization journey to the cloud, to microservices, and beyond. 

This session will cover:
—Why feature management is key to continuous modernization.
—LaunchDarkly customer stories.
—A deep dive into LaunchDarkly’s database migration.

Continuous Modernization with Feature Management

Software powers the world, and it’s evolving fast. Yet, companies can struggle with optimizing their software products because of outdated systems and processes– some of which have existed for decades (shoutout to all those developers still transferring code with 3.5-inch floppies!) 

In his upcoming book, Gene Kim explores traits of high-performing teams over time and across industries, to provide insights into how companies can remain competitive in changing markets.  

Join Cody De Arkland, Director of Developer Relations at LaunchDarkly, for a conversation with Gene about his recent learnings and how they relate to engineering.  Plus, explore his best practices for adapting to change (even in slow-moving, highly-regulated industries).

In this session, we’ll discuss: 
—Common traits and metrics that matter for high-performance engineering teams 
—The correlation between release management and engineering performance
—Strategies for introducing modern development practices

Think Like A High-Performance Engineering Team

Are you looking for ways to ship your features more efficiently, so you're not stuck waiting in front of your screen? Learn practical approaches to automate your team’s release processes to gain accuracy, control, and standardization. 

At LaunchDarkly, we often say we help you “Automate your software releases.” But how do we make that happen? We’ll show you the best practices around building automations within LaunchDarkly, making them consumable by other teams, as well as how we can integrate other platforms and tools. 

Join Cody De Arkland, Director of Developer Relations, on a practitioner-focused walkthrough of how to automate your software releases with LaunchDarkly, and learn how to avoid those 2 am "Oh no, it broke!" wake-up calls.

In this hands-on demo experience, we'll dive into concepts like: 
—Scheduling flag changes, so flags are released at a predetermined time of your choosing
—How to create workflows and workflow templates to reuse across multiple releases
—Flag triggers that can be used to enable or disable flags, and tie into platforms like Datadog and Dynatrace
—Advanced use cases with our integrations and the API

Unpacking Automation: Releasing Features with LaunchDarkly

As software teams are pushed to deliver better, more reliable products faster than ever, it’s essential that engineering efforts are focused on the right things. While many engineering teams track metrics tied to velocity, how these metrics actually support top-line business goals is the most important indicator of value.

While DORA metrics help teams identify areas for improvement, they shouldn't be the only factors taken into account when measuring success. Are leaders able to tie their team’s work to business outcomes? Do teams have the right tools to achieve their end goals? Are risk and speed being balanced effectively?

Join Ravi Tharisayi, Senior Director of Product Marketing at LaunchDarkly along with guest speaker Chris Condo, Principal Analyst at Forrester, as they discuss what engineering leaders should be considering when it comes to maximizing the value of their teams’ efforts.

This session will cover: 

- What metrics software delivery leaders should be considering in 2023, along with recommendations for how to improve them
- The challenge of connecting DORA metrics to business impact, and why it’s crucial to have the right set of tools to measure outcomes
- Some of the most common use cases for feature management, and how it can be used to break down silos and drive better business results

Beyond DORA Metrics: Maximizing the Business Value of Software Delivery

Are you chasing the promise of experimentation in search of meaningful data? The kind of data that allows you to launch, test, and rapidly develop as you work toward a competitive advantage is the gold standard in experimentation. Unfortunately, many companies run experiment after experiment without seeing measurable results. Even worse, if you’re testing in silos, you’re missing the chance to run experiments at scale across teams and applications.

So much more than just A/B testing, experimentation is a set of both practices and tools that can help your teams make data-driven decisions part of their daily life, regardless of their technical expertise. 

Join LaunchDarkly in exploring some of the common challenges organizations face when trying to adopt an experimentation culture. Plus, get tangible insights into how experimenting with feature flags can accelerate your business growth. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

LaunchDarkly’s philosophy on experimentation, and why creating a culture of experimentation is crucial for making data-driven decisions
The unique benefits of feature-flag-powered experimentation tools
How organizations are using LaunchDarkly Experimentation to run more experiments, set up better experiments, and get insights faster
Concrete tips and tricks your teams can start adopting today, even if you’re not an engineer

More and more enterprise organizations are looking to adopt DevOps practices. It's a way of thinking about processes so that everyone can move faster, and when executed well, it should help teams tear down walls. But it's important to remember that DevOps isn't just fast waterfall.

Jason Bloomberg, Analyst and President at Intellyx, is joined by LaunchDarkly's Developer Advocate Heidi Waterhouse and Lead Solutions Engineer Lev Lazinskiy in conversation on how enterprises are actually achieving DevOps. They'll also look at how Continuous Delivery fits into this new paradigm.
