 Experiments can be conducted by any GitLab team, most often the teams from the [Growth Sub-department](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/development/growth/). Experiments are not tied to releases because they primarily target GitLab.com.

-Each experiment should have an [Experiment tracking](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues?scope=all&state=opened&label_name[]=growth%20experiment&search=%22Experiment+tracking%22) issue to track the experiment from roll-out through to cleanup/removal. The tracking issue is similar to a feature flag rollout issue, and is also used to track the status of an experiment. Immediately after an experiment is deployed, the due date of the issue should be set (this depends on the experiment but can be up to a few weeks in the future).

 ## Implementing an experiment
 
-There are currently two options when implementing an experiment.
-
-One is built into GitLab directly and has been around for a while (this is called
-`Exerimentation Module`), and the other is provided by
-[`gitlab-experiment`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-experiment) and is referred
-to as `Gitlab::Experiment` -- GLEX for short.
+[`GLEX`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-experiment) - or `Gitlab::Experiment`, the `gitlab-experiment` gem - is the preferred option for implementing an experiment in GitLab.
 
-Both approaches use [experiment](../feature_flags/index.md#experiment-type)
-feature flags. We recommend using GLEX rather than `Experimentation Module` for new experiments.
+For more information, see [Implementing an A/B/n experiment using GLEX](gitlab_experiment.md).

-- [Implementing an A/B experiment using `Experimentation Module`](experimentation.md)
+There are still some longer running experiments using the [`Exerimentation Module`](experimentation.md).
 
-Historical Context: `Experimentation Module` was built iteratively with the needs that
-appeared while implementing Growth sub-department experiments, while GLEX was built
-with the findings of the team and an easier to use API.
+Both approaches use [experiment](../feature_flags/index.md#experiment-type) feature flags.
+`GLEX` is the preferred option for new experiments.
