- Optimizely Feature Experimentation

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, you should set up one project for each application or service. You can also complete the following:

- Configure separate projects for different [environments](docId\:YpSOMYlWkUccLCL-uB-ZE).
- Configure 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, the Feature Experimentation SDKs are language agnostic. You can use a datafile from any Feature Experimentation project type to initialize an Optimizely client within your app, regardless of which language you use for your project.

## Create an 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. 

   ![Select Feature Experimentation project type](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/QpUBb-tEX7AbKcXkmZWgg-20260720-145746.png)
3. Enter a **Name** for your project.
4. (Optional) Add a description.
5. (Optional) Select the [Secure environments](docId\:YpSOMYlWkUccLCL-uB-ZE) checkbox.
6. Keep the **Use Legacy Experience** checkbox clear. 
7. Click **Create Project**. 

   ![Enter the information about your project](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/njYAB3ezdfb3IUnGsc_MZ-20260720-145746.png)

After creating a Feature Experimentation project, you can create an [A/B test experiment](docId:8pnfCv-sR37goLcxTtCPv), a [targeted deliver](docId:_BjMxuGwwlVrhkNcx2kzm)y, or a [multi-armed bandit optimization](docId\:F5-ZUIoxCu2_XRy26tO-b).

## 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](docId\:UDBvr5a8WHNkyOqzPhOr9).

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.
