Welcome to the 13.1 Release Management UX kickoff! I am Rayana Verissimo, Sr. Product Designer at GitLab.

The Release Management Team is responsible for the categories of Release Evidence, Release Orchestration, Secrets Management, and GitLab Pages. In 13.1 we are taking a moment to improve visibility into performance, enhancing the backstage and technical aspects of GitLab that support the Release Management features.

I will focus on working hands on with some frontend issues, in order to burn down the UX Debt that was part of our backlog. UX Debt means that for a given issue, we failed to meet defined standards for our Design system or for usability and feature viability standards as defined in agreed-upon design assets.

In parallel, I’ll be working on some of the Release Orchestration items that are currently in the workflow:design phase.

Welcome to the 13.1 Release Management UX kickoff! I'm Lorie Whitaker, Staff UX Researcher at GitLab.

The Release Management Team is responsible for the categories of Release Evidence, Release Orchestration, Secrets Management, and GitLab Pages.

In 13.1, my research efforts will be focused on Merge Requests. I'll be diving into defining what poor performance looks like for various users as well as supporting the design teams who are making design changes to the MR process.

I'll also be working on defining JTBD across GitLab, in order to establish shared definitions of what JTBD are, how to create them and validate them, and how Product and UX should use them.

Going over Verify and Release UX work for the upcoming milestone to align on possible overlaps and dependencies between Product Designers.
