**What’s New In The 2024 Agile & DevOps Gartner® Hype Cycle™: Feature Management, Experimentation, and AI**  
Every year, Gartner provides a graphic representation of the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications in the Agile and DevOps space, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems and exploiting new opportunities. They call it a Hype Cycle. This methodology is designed to give a view of how a technology or application will evolve over time, providing a sound source of insight to manage its deployment within the context of your specific business goals.  
In this year’s report we see feature management, which has been steadily climbing the slope of enlightenment for years, further incorporating experimentation and starting to intersect technologies like GenAI and AI Code Assistants.
