  • Enable Program Management for your Optimizely Experimentation account

Optimizely Experimentation's Program Management enables teams to experiment more with tools for collaboration and program reporting at an enterprise scale.

This article will help you enable Program Management for your account. You will need a collaborator with Administrator permissions on your Optimizely Experimentation account to set up Program Management.

Optimizely Experimentation's Program Management is available on select plans. Contact your customer support manager (CSM) for access.

Great work! You have enabled Program Management for your account.

Create a team

In Optimizely Experimentation's Program Management, a team is a group of collaborators who have access to a collection of Optimizely Experimentation projects. Depending on their permissions, teammates can submit and score ideas, comment and collaborate on experiments, and view program results. Consider creating more than one team if you do not want members of one team to have access to another team's testing program.

We recommend starting with one team. You can add more teams later as your organization requires.

  5. Click Create Team.

Great work! An email invitation will be sent to new teammates.

Add sites and touchpoints

Your sites and touchpoints are like a sitemap or filing system for experiments. They give you a high-level view of where your program runs experiments. They do not affect experiment targeting—they are for organizational purposes only.

  • Sites: Top-level domains and apps on which a team runs experiments. Sites provide the most high-level view of your team's experimentation program. We recommend starting with whole sites, apps, or properties.

  • Touchpoints: Page categories or elements that you commonly experiment across. For example: a product details page or the global navigation across the top of your site.

Here are step-by-step instructions on how to add a site and touchpoint:
