personas

  • title: Engineering leader
    pains:
    • Risky releases require staged rollouts and rapid rollback
    • Maintaining homegrown flag infrastructure takes engineering time
  • title: Head of data science or experimentation
    pains:
    • Inconsistent metrics and opaque statistics make experiment results hard to trust
    • Copying data into another vendor creates privacy and governance concerns
  • title: Product or growth leader
