Dark launch your features with Trello and LaunchDarkly
Teams around the world use Trello to manage software projects. Many of these teams use LaunchDarkly to launch features. I've been on a few of these teams.
Trello's hallmark as a productivity and collaboration tool has been its simplicity. I've always loved how Trello never got in the way of my team's workflow. With Trello Power-Ups, my team had the ability to customize and enhance our workflow and processes to suit our needs.
Today, we're announcing our integration with Trello. We've built a LaunchDarkly Power-Up that brings LaunchDarkly's feature toggles directly into Trello. This Power-Up allows teams to bundle their feature flags on a Trello card.
You'll also be able to turn your flags on or off directly from the back of Trello cards. This makes deploying features so much simpler.
How could this help me?
If your team uses Trello to manage your software projects, you're probably an Agile team using some variation of a Kanban or Scrum workflow. If so, you're likely writing stories and epics to describe your features. Many of these features map directly to feature flags inside LaunchDarkly. With this integration, you can attach your feature flags directly to your stories or epics. When it comes time to launch your feature, you can do it directly from the back of your Trello card. This also makes it easy to see the status of your feature – whether it's been launched or not.
This integration also respects your LaunchDarkly environment's rules (e.g., require comments or confirmation to change flag state).
