From YouTube: GitLab 15.8 Kickoff - Release
Description
Planning issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/release-group/release/-/issues/202
A
Hello,
everyone:
this
is
the
release,
15.8
planning
issue
and
kickoff
I'm
Chris
villani
I'm,
the
product
manager
for
the
release
stage
I'm
here
with
Emily
product
design
of
the
release
stage,
so
I'll
start
actually
with
showing
our
Q4
projects.
A
So
at
the
beginning
of
Q4,
the
team
drafted
and
collaborated
on
the
list
of
projects,
essentially
a
road
map
for
Q4,
and
what
we're
hoping
to
achieve
that's
listed
here,
and
you
can
see
that
you
could
go
to
this
issue
for
more
details
there
and
just
to
call
it
a
few,
because
you'll
see
that
you'll
see
that
we're
making
progress
against
quite
a
few
of
these
and
that
we're
planning
features
and
issues
related
to
them
so
deploy
Improvement
deployment,
approval,
iterations
group
environments,
kubernetes
agent
and
environments
MVC
on
boarding
experiment
as
well
as
usability,
Benchmark
improvements
and
environment
search
performance.
A
So
really
excited
and
I
want
to
kind
of
make
sure
to
highlight
these
particular
projects,
because
they
were
the
ones
that
are
most
important
for
the
quarter
and
that
we're
actually
making
progress.
So
15.8
planning
issue
so
goals
for
the
Milestone
continue
on
deployment
approval
iterations.
We
have
a
few
bugs
that
we
want
to
make
sure
we
tackle
and
resolve
and
then,
when
another
theme
called
I'm
calling
feature
scaling.
A
A
Those
a
lot
of
those
ended
up
taking
a
little
bit
longer
than
expected
or-
and
we
just
need
more
need
some
more
time
to
get
those
resolved
and
I'll
go
through
each
of
these
in
a
second
all
right.
So
the
first
one
we've
talked
about
this
last
Milestone,
but
these
two
support
editing
of
deployment,
approval
rules
in
the
environment,
settings
UI
as
well
as
support
editing
of
deployment
executor
rules.
This
is
essentially
migrating.
A
B
A
Towards
that
away
from
the
unified
approval
rules,
which
is
which,
which
is
more
of
a
legacy
way
of
doing
these
types
of
rules,
so
we
want
to
move
the
configuration
UI,
so
teams
and
features
and
users
can
can
improve
or
can
configure
this
more
flexible
way
of
doing
their
approvals.
A
The
next
one
here
is
a
new
audit
events,
so
we
want
to
add
an
audit
events
for
changing
when
users
and
teams
change
the
protection
on
the
environment.
This
is
a
key
event
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
this
is
properly
audited
and
that
there's
a
sort
of
a
paper
trail
of
of
changes
to
these
types
of
environments
and
these
settings
the
next
one
is
fixing
the
changelog
for
one
of
our
features.
A
This
is
more
of
a
maintenance
feature,
but
it'll
help
just
improve
the
way
that
automated
kind
of
automated
generated
change,
blog
is
is
created.
A
The
next
one
here
is
fixing
a
an
error
message
that
we've
gotten
feedback
on.
So
in
certain.
In
the
certain
scenario,
the
error
message
that
the
users
retrieve
is
a
little
confusing
and
we
want
to
correct
that
just
to
make
sure
users
better
understand
what
they're
trying
to
debug
the
next
one
is
is:
is
one
that
came
out
of
our
Benchmark.
A
Our
usability
Benchmark
study
that
we
performed
that
will
performs
last
quarter,
and
so
this
particular
one
is
making
sure
users
understand
more
clearly
and
get
some
feedback
when
they've
created
an
actual
release
and
so
really
excited
to
to
improve
the
usability
of
our
features
here,
especially
this
key
workflow.
A
This
is
also
connected
to
one
of
our
okrs
for
the
quarter,
which
is
to
make
or
to
ship
improvements
to
our
usability,
we're
hoping
we're
hoping
to
Target
50
of
the
issues
that
we
came
up
that
were
that
were
that
came
out
of
the
usability
study.
So
this
is
one
of
those
key
ones.
A
Okay
and
then
the
next
few,
as
I
mentioned
a
little
bit
more
related
to
feature
scaling
so
in
this
particular
one.
We
want
to
help
kind
of
build
the
essentially
support
multiple
oids
and
find
Rest
by
oid,
Gilly
grpc,
so
just
being
able
to
fetch
this
information
in
batch
and
improve
the
performance
of
this.
Of
this
call,
the
next
one
is.
B
A
Integrity
issue
for
protective
environment
deploy
access
levels
table
so
yeah
we're
just
making
this
essentially
making
this
data
kind
of
infrastructure
a
little
bit
more
robust
and
making
sure
that
it
continues
to
scale
as
the
feature
and
the
feature
get
continues
to
get
used.
A
A
You
can
more
easily
find
a
particular
environment
within
the
search
bar
since
then,
we've
been
iterating
on
it
and
we're
trying
to
we're
determining
the
best
path
forward
for
this
feature,
and
so
for
for
it
to
be
more
performant
for
it
to
scale
on.com,
especially
and
and
for
us
to
kind
of
continue
giving
and
adding
value
for
our
users
and
and
build
it
in
a
scalable
way.
A
We're
changing
a
little
bit
of
how
this
feature
works
and
we're
eliminating
we're,
limiting
it
to
three
or
more
characters
which
shouldn't
affect
the
user
experience,
but
it
also
allows
us
to
make
sure
that
the
feature
scales
well
and
performs
well,
so
we're
gonna
we're
going
to
limit
it
to
you
know
the
search
text
that
has
three
or
more
characters
and
then
in
the
future,
we'll
continue
to
iterate
to
make
sure
that
again,
people
and
users
can
can
find
environments.
A
A
Is
a
bug
that
we're
resolving
it's
related
to
kind
of
the
return
values
for
some
of
these
API
calls
all
right.
So
that's
those
are
the
p1s.
We
have
also
quite
a
good
list
of
p2s
and
p3s
across
the
different
three
themes
and
a
few
of
the
other
customer
requests
that
we've
been
seeing
as
well,
and
you
can
see
those
here
in
the
planning
issue.
But
with
that
I'll
hand
it
over
to
Emily
talk
us
through
the
ux.
B
And
I'll
just
share
my
screen.
Oh
so
we
have
a
quite
a
few
ux
initiatives
going
on
this
Milestone,
including
a
lot
of
usability.
Benchmarking
work
that
we
want
to
dig
into
so
I'll
walk
through
kind
of
this
list,
but
the
first
three
are
directly
related
to
this
usability:
benchmarking
okr.
We
want
to
finalize
by
the
end
of
the
corner,
so
the
first
ones
provide
an
easy
way
to
navigate
to
the
protected
environment.
B
Settings
to
the
environments
page
currently
navigating
into
protected
environment
settings
is
quite
they're
not
quite
connected,
so
this
is
giving
that
easy
way
to
get
between
the
two
of
them.
B
The
next
one
is
make
navigating
to
the
individual
environments,
page
a
little
more
obvious
So.
Currently
on
the
environments
page,
you
have
a
Chevron
and
the
environment
name
and
both
of
those
kind
of
go
to
different
areas.
But
a
lot
of
users
seem
to
think
that
if
you
click
on
the
environment,
name
it'll
just
expand
this
area
out
so
and
there's
a
lot
of
data
showing
people
visit
this
page,
but
not
individual
environments
page.
B
So
this
usability
issue
is
really
around
making
it
a
lot
easier
to
navigate
through
this
environment
index
page
and
into
environment
details
and
the
final
usability
benchmarking
effort.
I'm
going
to
take
a
look
at
from
a
design
point
of
view
is
adding
a
search,
filter
and
sort
capability
on
the
environment,
history
UI.
So
this
is
just
giving
users
a
bit
more
ability
to
look
through
the
deployments
in
that
environment
Details
page
and
find
the
deployments
they're
looking
for.
B
So
these
are
the
E3
related
to
the
benchmarking.
We
also
have
an
onboarding
experiment
where
you
want
to
get
done
next,
Milestone,
which
is
just
linking
the
existing
environments
from
the
project
home.
So
currently,
in
the
project
home,
we
don't
show
environments,
yet
we
just
so.
This
is
adding
that
link
in
there
and
then
a
potential
follow-up
of
this
is
kind
of
adding
in
a
way
to
get
started
with
environments.
So
having
that
as
a
jumping
off
point
to
setting
up
your
own
environments,.
B
Then
we
have
another
stretch.
We
have
two
stretch
goals
for
the
ux.
This
upcoming
Milestone,
two
one
is
prevent
environment
approval
rules
from
being
removed
after
deployer
and
approver
group
has
been
deleted.
So
this
is
just
the
dealing
with
the
user
flow
of
what
happens
when
a
deployer
or
approver
group
has
been
deleted
and
how
that
works
and
with
setting
deployment,
approval
rules
and
the
second
stretch
one
is
creating
a
release.
B
Icon
So
currently
release
as
a
feature
is
missing
an
icon
we're
seeing
either
the
rocket
ship
being
used,
deployments
icon
being
used-
and
this
is
just
a
stretch
issue
to
kind
of
create
a
visual
around
the
release
icon.
B
We
also
have
a
few
ongoing
research
efforts,
the
first
one
being
the
category
maturity
scorecard,
so
getting
environment
management
to
viable
we're
hoping
in
15
8,
potentially
spilling
over
a
little
bit
into
59,
but
to
finish
up
these
interviews
with
our
internal
stakeholders
and
kind
of
move,
this
category
up
the
second
one
being
a
solution,
validation
on
the
deployment
Details
page.
So
this
is
just
ensuring
what
we've
designed
out
for
the
deployment
Details
page
is
in
fact,
what
do
users?
B
Actually
want
to
see,
we
have
a
third
research
effort,
that's
going
to
be
multi-milestone,
but
starting
in
the
next
Milestone
around
validating
the
group
level.
Environments
page
as
well,
though,
that
one
does
not
have
an
issue
created
for
it
yet,
but
just
wanted
to
call
that
out
cool
and
that's
it
from
a
ux
perspective.
I
can
hand
it
back
over
to
Chris,
because.
A
I'm
only
super
excited
for
all
of
those
I'm
getting
started
and
all
the
research
that
you're
you're
driving
so
I'm,
looking
forward
to
seeing
seeing
what
we
get
out
of
that
and
yeah
with
that,
that's
that's
our
plan
for
15
8.,
if
you
have
any
questions,
feel
free
to
follow
up
with
us
on
the
planning
issue,
all
right.
Thank
you.
