Manage projects

Feature Experimentation projects help organize experiments within a single application or service that you are developing. You can use projects in any way to organize your work, but, in most cases, Optimizely recommends setting up one project for each application or service. You can also:

• Set up separate projects for different environments.
• Set up a separate project for each customer in a multi-tenant scenario.

📘

Note

Your account already includes an Optimizely Feature Experimentation project, so creating another project is optional.

All Optimizely Feature Experimentation projects look similar, regardless of what SDK language you plan on using. Optimizely Feature Experimentation provides language-specific code samples through the interface and documentation.. In practice, our Optimizely Feature Experimentation SDKs are language agnostic. You can use a datafile from any Optimizely Feature Experimentation project type to initialize an Optimizely client within your app, regardless of which language you use for your project.

Create a Optimizely Feature Experimentation project

To create another Optimizely Feature Experimentation project:

1. In Optimizely, click Projects > Create New Project.

2. Select Feature Experimentation as your project type.

   

3. Name your new project and optionally add a description.

   

4. (Optional) Select the Secure environments check box.

5. Keep the Use Legacy Experience check box unselected.

6. Click Create Project.

After creating a new Feature Experimentation project, you can create experiments, targeted deliveries, or a multi-armed bandit optimization.

Create Optimizely Feature Experimentation projects using multiple SDKs

You can use multiple SDKs to run experiments that span all parts of your technology stack. Use any Optimizely Feature Experimentation SDK in any Feature Experimentation project, even if they do not match your primary programming language. Select the primary language based on the application where you will assign visitors to experiments.

For example, you are running experiments in your Python backend and tracking events in a web browser using JavaScript. In this example, you would use Python as the primary language because that is where your experiment code runs.

Note

You can track conversion events for your experiments in any part of your technology stack in any language.

Rename a project

1. Go to Settings > Advanced.
2. Enter the project name in the Name field.
3. Click Save.

Note

Updating the project's name only changes the name. It does not change the project ID.
