Which means it won’t be possible to sign in to FeatureMap using a username anymore: we’ll ask for your email address instead. We still use them internally, but we no longer want them to be the default way of referring to a FeatureMap user. Usernames are gone + improved mentions in commentsĪnother decision we made was to remove all visible usernames from the application. API users are encouraged to use the new app subdomain from now. Your maps now live under the domain name, which means the URLs of your maps and cards have changed.īut don’t worry: we’ve made sure all the old links keep working and simply redirect you to the new locations.Ĭalls to our API will still work with as the base domain name for several months. We have decided to separate FeatureMap’s public website, which presents the application features, pricing and legal terms, from the application in which you can access your maps.

Plus, it means we can now deploy hotfixes whenever necessary without noticeable downtime. Not only does it offer a more responsive user experience, it also improves the overall stability of the application. So, what has changed in FeatureMap 4.0? Faster everythingįeatureMap boots faster, loads pages more quickly, and can save your changes instantly. This has kept us motivated to bring the best out of FeatureMap and strengthened our resolve to make it better. We’ve been constantly working away at improving FeatureMap and throughout the pandemic, we’ve seen the growth of working from home and a wider adoption of user story mapping as one of the best tools for collaborative product management. It is also a lot more stable and more resilient when something goes wrong in the network. One of the main benefits of this background work is that FeatureMap is now faster than ever: we’ve measured load times and request times reduced by over 40%. Our goal with this release was to lay out the necessary foundation to support our plans for the next major features and design of FeatureMap. While the changes might not be immediately apparent, as it is still the same FeatureMap you are familiar with, almost all parts of the application have been upgraded under the hood.

This update will probably sound unusually technical – I thought for once it would be nice to give you a deeper overview of what we have been doing behind the scenes. I’d like to give you some news about what our team has been working on over the past year and our plans for the future of FeatureMap. We’ve said our goodbyes to FeatureMap 3.4 – which had been valiantly running for over two years with just a few minor updates – and welcomed FeatureMap 4.0. Last week we released the new version of FeatureMap.
