From YouTube: GitLab Plan - PM roadmap feedback
Description
Melissa Ushakov and Chris Balane walk through feedback on our current roadmap functionality and his quarterly planning process.
B
Do
you
want
me
to
just
show
you
what
I
have
okay
all
right,
so
I
wanted
to
dog
food,
the
roadmap
feature
and
for
as
part
of
my
like
quarterly
planning
process,
I
wanted
to
put
a
roadmap
view
together.
It
was
also
like
a
good
exercise
for
me
just
being
sort
of
new
a
couple
months
in
as
a
pm
here
at
get
lab
wanted
to
put
together
a
view
for
myself
for
for
leadership
for
for
my
team.
A
B
Okay
yeah,
so
at
the
start
of
I
guess
it's
fiscal
year,
23
q1
I
wanted
to,
and
I've
done
this
before
at
previous
companies.
B
I
wanted
to
put
together
like
a
sort
of
kickoff
kind
of
video.
Normally
I
would
have-
or
I'm
used
to
doing
it
sync
in
a
meeting
with
slides
and
share
our
goals
and
sort
of
high-level
roadmap.
That's
what
I'm
used
to
doing
so,
but
for
this
time
around,
I
wanted
to
do
it
like
get
lab
async
way.
So
I
recorded
a
video
where
I
kind
of
walked
through
the
the
company
goals,
like
we
had
our
new
fiscal
year,
new
fiscal
like
product
themes,
I
kind
of
invested.
B
I
talked
about
that
and
how
our
work
in
our
release
stage
connected
to
that,
like
one
of
the
themes,
was
like
related
to
deployment
and
ci
cd
leadership.
So
I
just
just
kind
of
highlighted
that
really
my
goal
was
to
align
and
show
how
our
work
is
aligning
to
company
goals
and
how
we're
like
directly.
B
You
know
even
some
of
the
little
things
that
we're
doing
really
aligns
to
that.
So
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
there
yeah
and
I
could
send
you
the
link
if
you're
interested
yeah.
A
B
A
B
Exactly
yeah,
and
then
I
also
so
I
talked
about
like
the
vision-
and
I
like
showed,
you
know,
showed
on
the
screen,
like
the
direction
pages
like
come
in
handbook.
Came
book,
company
themes,
the
ops
on
so
on
our
side,
the
ops
direction,
the
deployment
direction
that
kevin
chu
put
together
and
then
like
each
of
my
like
category
directions.
So
it's
kind
of
a
lot
of
like
actually
just
like
hey
look
at
all
this
all
this
stuff,
and
this
is
how
we
line
I
talked
about.
B
A
One
last
question:
when
this
quarterly
thing:
are
you
only
doing
a
quarter
at
a
time
or
are
you
looking
out
further
than
a
quarter.
B
For
the
kickoff
I'll
do
the
quarterly
I'll
do
the
kickoff
quarterly.
I
think
the
main
focus
is
the
quarter.
Okay,
when
I
did
it
this
time,
I
did
have
some
stuff
further
out,
but
as
we
know,
as
you
know,
that
stuff
is
less
like
less
clear
yeah
but
yeah,
I
you
know,
maybe
a
little
bit
of
a
lookout.
It's
like
after
this
quarter.
What's
ahead
what
categories
we're
thinking
about,
but
I
expect
to
refresh
that
each
quarter.
B
Yeah,
so
what
I
did
here,
can
you
see
that
okay,
so
this
was
sort
of
the
end
product
or
the
ends
like
result
of
all
the
sort
of
behind
the
scenes
stuff
I
did,
but
what
I
do
is
just
have
a
filter
for
my
group,
or
I
guess
my
stage
technically
that's
a
stage
and
then
I
I'll
explain
why
I
did
that,
but
I
started
labeling
things
I
wanted
to
show
in
this
view,
with
roadmap
as
with
a
roadmap
label.
B
I
got
everything
stuff
I
didn't
even
know
about.
It
was
just
sort
of
it's
just
too
much
right
that
we
have
a
lot
of
epics
and
part
of
it
is
like.
I
could
probably
clean
that
up,
but
I
mean
I
didn't
really
want
to
touch
all
that
stuff.
That
was
there
and
I
wanted
to
kind
of
basically
tightly
control.
B
What
I
wanted
to
show
in
this
view,
so
I
ended
up
just
doing
a
label
there
and
and
yeah
I
I
like
you
asked
I
was
really
focused
on
at
the
time
it
was
like
february.
B
I
guess,
like
february
march
and
april
for
the
quarter,
I
did
spend
a
lot
of
spend
a
lot
of
time,
even
with
doing
the
labels
like
tweaking
dates,
because
I
sort
of
in
general
have
the
sequencing
in
my
head.
But
you
know
you
can't
really.
As
far
as
I
know,
you
can't
really
do
that
in
this
view,
and
so
I
ended
up
like
opening
all
the
epics
like
sort
of
tweaking
the
dates
many
times
actually
probably
just
like
and
then
kind
of
tweak
the
date.
B
Well,
definitely,
the
start
and
end
dates
like
that
yeah.
The
timing
I
did
play
with
the
start
dates
to
sort
of
get
at
the
ordering,
because
I
think
I
guess
this
is
ordered
by
start
date
yeah.
So
if
I
wanted
to,
I
in
general,
wanted
it
to
kind
of
just
like
flow
like
die,
yeah
sort
of
gantt
chart
type
of
thing,
so
yeah,
and
I
and
I
wouldn't
want
necessarily
like
five
things,
starting
at
the
same
time
but
so
yeah.
A
B
Yeah,
what
it
took
me
a
while
to
realize
also
is
that
it
displays
the
top
level
ancestor
of
the
of
the
epics
and
for
a
while.
I
didn't
realize
that
so
I
was
like
I'm
like.
I
think
it's
labeled
right
and
I
would
go
into
the
epic
and
check
and
but
then
realize.
B
That
wasn't
yeah,
it
wasn't
what
I
expected
it
wasn't
intuitive.
I
I
didn't
see
any
sort
of
help
or
hints
or
documentation
around
that
too,
but
then
I
did
realize
later
it
does
like.
If
there
are
children,
it's
nested
yeah,
I
didn't,
and
I
I
didn't
realize
it
until
much
later
yeah
what
else
I
would
have
wanted
to
order
certain
things
a
little
bit
more
easy
like
easily.
I
also
wanted
to
group
things
potentially
too
so,
like
maybe
I
would
have
grouped
things
by
category
right.
B
I
did
I
because,
because
I
don't
this
wasn't
so
useful
to
me,
yeah.
B
And
so
yeah
I've
and
I
didn't
realize
yeah
I
think
I
didn't
realize
the
filter
was
there
and
I
would
save
this
link
and
then
like
just
I
just
saved
the
link
for
like
for
my
team
or
whatever
in
my
bookmarks,
but
then
this
thing
would
always
open
up
because
you
would
refresh
it
like
or
you
know,
if
I
open
it
up
again
and
then
I
finally
found
yeah,
I
did
find
the
milestones
and
then
I
could
save
this
link
now,
because
it's
it's
like
a
parameter,
yeah
yeah
did.
A
B
Quarter,
yeah
right
what
else.
A
B
Useful
yeah
yeah.
A
But
then
that
insight
about,
like
what
should
show
here,
is
very
interesting
as
far
as
like
top
level
epics
versus
nested
epics,
there's
something
that
we're
working
on
to
essentially
decompose
epic,
so
to
say
into
like
distinct
items.
So
having
like
feature
epic
theme
right
as
separate.
B
A
B
Yeah
right
because
and
that's
how
I
that's
my
mental
model
sort
of
too
it's
like
it's,
I
just
group
things
by
theme
and
right
like
which
are
pretty,
can
be
really
pretty
broad
any
anything.
B
A
Okay,
well,
that
was
really
helpful.
I'm
glad
you
were
able
to
figure
out
how
to
use
it
anyway,
yeah
and
so,
and
your
feedback's
definitely
very
consistent
with
what
we're
hearing
for
customers
cool.
