From YouTube: GitLab 15.6 Kickoff - Release
Description
Planning Issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/release-group/release/-/issues/162/
A
Hello,
everyone:
this
is
the
release
15.6
planning
issue.
My
name
is
Chris
Brown
I'm,
the
product
manager
for
the
release
stage
and
I'm
here
with
Emily
Bowman
product
designer
for
the
release
stage.
So
we'll
talk
about
the
themes
and
goals
for
the
Milestone,
we
will
talk
through
the
P1
deliverables
on
all
the
issues
and
nvcs
that
we're
working
on
for
engineering
team
and
then
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Emily,
which
we'll
talk
about
the
design
work
and
you
export
that
we
have
planned
for
milestone
all
right.
A
So
in
terms
of
themes,
we
have
deploy
approval
iterations
that
we're
continuing
to
work
on.
This
is
the
major
feature
that
we've
launched
and
has
have
since
iterated,
on
and
based
on
customer
feedback
and
user
feedback
that
we've
been
hearing
and
based
on
Direction.
A
B
A
In
terms
of
deliverables,
we
have
our
release:
P
ones,
as
you
can
see
here
and
so
I'll
go
through
each
of
them
and
discuss
them
in
more
detail.
So
the
first
one
is
support,
approval
rules
and
deployments
approval
UI,
and
what
we've
been
doing
here
is
now
that
we
have
different
ways
to
configure
approval
rules.
A
A
This
pop-up
modal
that
we
have
and
now
you'll
be
able
to
really
easily
see
which
groups
are
are
have
done,
those
approvals
which
ones
you
need
them
and
which
groups
you
still
need
approvals
for
and
how
many,
as
you
can
see
in
this
table,
and
so
again,
this
is
now
part
of
your
this
week,
you're
not
part
of
your
Deployable
workflow,
and
you
have
all
that
information
right
within
right
within
this
this
model,
the
next
one
we're
tackling
is
iterating
on
the
search
feature
that
we
launched
recently
in
the
environments
page,
and
so
our
first
MVC
you're
that
you're
able
to
search
for
those
high
level,
those
top
level
environments
and
now
we're
also
adding
the
the
ability
to
search
for
environments
within
the
folders
that
a
lot
of
you
use
for
for
structuring
environments.
A
The
next
one
is
a
navigation
change,
and
so
we've
heard
feedback
from
a
lot
of
you,
and
we
want
to
also
make
sure
that
using
our
deployments,
functionality
and
environments,
functionality
that
we've
been
we've
been
working
on
recently
is
really
easily
accessible
from
for
you,
and
so
one
of
the.
So
this
change
is
actually
tweaking
the
navigation
a
little
bit.
So
now,
when
you
click
on
the
deployments
item
in
in
the
navigation,
you're
you're
gonna
go
to
the
environments
page
as
a
default.
A
Today
it
goes
to
the
feature
Flags,
which
is
a
little
unintuitive,
and
we're
also
just
changing
the
ordering
in
that
list
to
make
it
to
reflect
that.
A
B
A
One
is
a
back-end
change
and
so
where
we
we
have
been
and
we're
continuing
to,
but
we're
we're
moving
towards
graphql
as
a
back
end
for
preserving
up
a
lot
of
the
information
on
those
environments
pages,
and
so
this
one
is
doing
that
specifically
for
nested
environments
and
so
over
time,
we'll
we,
we
hope
to
to
make
most
of
our
major
apis
for
these
Pages
graphql,
which
has
a
lot
of
performance
benefits.
A
A
The
next
one
here
is
I'm,
just
making
sure
we
internationalize
our
error
message
in
the
release:
services,
we've
gotten
some
feedback
and
making
sure
we
want
to
properly
get
the
right
content
and
copy
for
those
error,
messages
to
make
sure
we're
communicating
the
right
information
for
you
to
debug
some
of
these
issues.
A
Next,
one
we've
heard
you
back
here
and
for
those
of
you
that
use
the
environments
Pages
a
lot.
What
what
we've
seen
and
and
what
you've
told
us
is
that
performance
there's
some
performance
and
CPU
issues
that
that
occur
when
we
have,
when
there
are
lots
of
tabs
open
for
this.
For
this
page,
which,
in
which
case,
if
you
have
a
lot
of
environments,
you're
monitoring
at
the
same
time,
it
totally
makes
sense.
A
A
The
next
one
here
is,
the
deploying
buttons
are
missing
from
environment,
page
and
group,
and
groups.
View
and
access
is
deployment
only
users
these
this
is
another.
This
is
a
assess,
impacting
usability
bug
that
we
want
to
make
sure
our
the
action
buttons
and
and
the
behavior
of
those
of
that
page
and
the
feature
is
just
consistent
across
all
the
different
types
of
environments
that
we
have.
A
And
then
the
last
one
I
want
to
talk
about
is
actually
we
were
discussing
in
the
past
few
days
and
we're
hoping
to
pull
in
and
either
this
Milestone
or
the
the
next
one
is
making
sure
the
configuration
and
set
of
experience
for
or
the
deploy
approval
feature
is,
is
fully
fleshed
out
and
had
and
has
all
the
capabilities
of
the
API.
And
so
today
what
the
configuration
UI
presents
is
configuration
for
what
we
call
the
simple
or
sorry,
the
unified
approval
rules.
A
What
we're
going
to
do
with
this
change
is
change
that
to
to
defaults
to
the
multiple
approval
rules,
option
that
we
we
currently
have
and
the
reason
we're
doing
this
is
because
eventually
we
want
to
migrate
all
of
our
users
and
and
customers
to
use
this.
This
model,
the
unified
approval
model,
was
our
MVC,
our
first
iteration
of
being
able
to
configure
this.
But
multiple
approval
rules
is
the
way
to
go
it's
more
powerful.
It
has
it's
more
flexible
and
and.
B
A
To
make
sure
that
we
provide
an
easy
way
for
customers
to
be
able
to
set
this
up.
Currently,
it's
only
by
API
and
again
going
back
to
that
deploy
approval
maturity
we
were
talking
about.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
you
can
configure
these
rules
right
within
the
UI.
A
Part
of
this
will
be
just
making
sure
we
give
users
the
right
information
right
in
the
screen
about
how
to
migrate
it
and
when
that's
going
to
happen,
and
why
we're
why
we're
changing
this,
but
in
the
end,
this
will
support
us
moving
over
to
that
one
model:
deprecating
the
old
model,
simplifying
all
of
this
and
making
sure
our
users
understands
how
this
approval
feature
can
be
configured
well.
A
Okay,
so
that's
those
are
the
P1
deliverables.
A
We
are
working
on,
adding
to
our
P2
and
P3
lists
and
and
that'll
be
that'll,
be
popular
in
the
next
day
or
so
we
were
just
talking
Emily
and
I.
Before
we
started.
Recording
I've
got
a
good
list
of
kind
of
the
hanging
fruit
and
items
that
we
wanna.
We
can
tackle
too
so
we'll
pull
those
in
and
then
with
that
I'll
hit
me
the
randomly
to
talk
about
the
ux
work.
B
Awesome,
let
me
just
what
happens
when
you
have
way
too
many
screens
open.
Well,
there
we
go
so
for
a
ux's
milestone.
We
have
quite
a
few,
including
a
bigger
research
initiative,
but
the
first
one
we
want
to
tackle
is
just
figuring
out
the
deployment
detail.
Page
MVC.
We
realized
that
these,
like
deployment
approvals,
can't
always
live
in
a
modal
we're
building
this
up.
We
need
a
kind
of
a
permanent
place
for
them
to
live
so
just
figuring
out.
B
The
MVC
of
the
deployment
Details
page
will
be
one
of
the
big
ones
for
15
6..
B
Another
one
that
we've
been
talking
about
quite
a
bit
in
the
past
is
improving
the
ux
of
promoting
deployments
on
the
environment
index
page
this.
This
came
back
from
a
bunch
of
user
feedback
that
we
had
made
a
change
here.
We
were
looking
to
revert
that
change
and
kind
of
rethink
about
the
ux
of
promoting
deployments,
so
we're
gonna,
hopefully
get
an
MVC
out
for
this
one
in
15-6
as
well.
B
Then,
the
next
big
one,
this
one
kind
of
moved
over
from
15-5,
due
to
some
additional
conversations
that
had
to
happen
around
like
what
the
first
MVC
of
this
looks
like,
but
we're
looking
to
do
a
very
simple,
dynamically
populated
organization
level,
environments
page
so
really
showing
all
environments
at
the
group
level
to
users.
And
how
can
we
do
this
in
like
the
simplest
way
for
the
first
iteration
and
then
continue
working
on
that
as
we
move
forward
and
then
the
final
one
is
the
category
maturity
scorecard
for
environment
management.
B
A
Okay,
thanks
Emily
super
excited
about
all
those
group
level
or
work
level,
environments,
page
and
employment
detail,
page
yeah.
Those
are
amazing,
features
really
excited
to
get
working
on
those
and
collaborate
with
you
all
right.
So
that's
our
Milestone
for
15
6..
If
you
have
any
questions,
let
us
know
feel
free
to
reach
out.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
