**Thomas** recently delivered a presentation on Feature Flagging in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) for OpenFeature. Given the presentation's public availability, we are pleased to share the slides with you.

Effective management of the feature flag lifecycle is crucial for maximizing the value of feature flags within an organization.

This presentation is covering the following key areas:
- **Feature flag lifecycle:** Understanding the complete journey of a feature flag.
- **Roles and responsibilities:** Identifying who owns each phase of the lifecycle.
- **Feature flag naming conventions:** Best practices for clear and consistent flag identification.
- **Preventing flag debt:** Strategies for avoiding the accumulation of unused or obsolete flags.
- **Involving project managers:** The importance of project management collaboration in feature flag initiatives.

By understanding these concepts, you can optimize your feature flagging strategy and drive business success.
