      <p>As well as <a href="/daily/2025/02/18/conflicts">causing merge conflicts</a>, feature branches slow the delivery of new features.</p>

      <p>Someone needs to be responsible for merging the branches once they've been reviewed and approved, and any further merges into release branches.</p>

      <p>This is typically the Lead Developer on the project, but this person then becomes a bottleneck.</p>

      <p>They need to oversee all the branches and merges, and know what needs to be merged and where it needs to be deployed.</p>

      <p>This slows down the speed of delivery.</p>

      <p>In a trunk-based environment, there's only one branch and everyone can commit and push to it.</p>

      <p>And, if you're <a href="/daily/2025/02/17/ci-cd">doing continuous delivery</a>, any changes will be automatically deployed.</p>

      <p>No more bottleneck.</p>
