Data-Driven Feature Development

Build features guided by data insights, A/B testing, and continuous measurement using specialized agents for analysis, implementation, and experimentation.

[Extended thinking: This workflow orchestrates a comprehensive data-driven development process from initial data analysis and hypothesis formulation through feature implementation with integrated analytics, A/B testing infrastructure, and post-launch analysis. Each phase leverages specialized agents to ensure features are built based on data insights, properly instrumented for measurement, and validated through controlled experiments. The workflow emphasizes modern product analytics practices, statistical rigor in testing, and continuous learning from user behavior.]
