From YouTube: Concept - Allow users to invite others onto GitLab to help complete a task

Description

Issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/growth/team-tasks/-/issues/393

A

Hi everyone, my name is emily and I'm a product designer on the growth team, and today I just wanted to walk through the new concept for inviting a another team member or someone to gitlab to help complete a task. So this uh flow is broken down really into two flows: one for the inviting user, so the one who's actually doing the inviting and one for the invited user.

A

So what we kind of start with for this flow is the inviting user gets this email to take your first steps with git lab. um The new thing here is, instead of just create your first project, we have a secondary action underneath um to invite another teammate to help out. So if this person um decides to click, invite them to help out, they would be prompted to either log in or sent to this modal.

A

That is just the invite modal, with an additional section for shoot. Some tasks for your new teammate to work on these tasks are still um placeholders. For now, we're still trying to figure out what tasks we want to fit in here, but we do want to start with verify or create tasks.

A

So this user would then select the tasks or tasks they want the invited user to focus on, as well as any of the information like the user's email role, permission and access expiration, and then they would click invite.

A

So then they would see that the user was successfully added um and they just have to wait for that user. To kind of accept this invitation and join so the invited user then would receive this email saying that they were invited to the group that they were invited to as well as some details around kind of like the tasks they've been um assigned to focus on.

A

So they would click join now and kind of go through the typical get gitlab onboarding experience so putting in their name creating an account setting their role and then, when they get started, we send them straight to that onboarding issue, so we drop them straight into the one that they're supposed to be working on again.

A

um This onboarding issue is a template right now, um we're still trying to figure out what those would be, but that would uh kind of be the flow and then, if um the invited user was assigned more than one, we could also send them to an issue board where they could see a collection of the tasks that they had to do.

A

The only additional on part of this flow would be when the invited user actually signs up. The inviting user would then receive an email that they have accepted their invitation just so they they know that this person has like started and kinda is now looking around the tasks and yeah that's about it, for this flow um do feel free to reach out for me any questions, but I hope this was a good walk through.
