We collaborate with our colleagues in the Growth Sub-department teams:
As well as the wider Growth Sub-department stable counterparts.
The Growth UX team has a handbook page which includes Growth specific workflows.
Prioritization is a collaboration between Product, UX, Data, and Engineering.
We use the Product Development workflow when working on issues and merge requests across multiple projects.
While not all of the work we do relates to the GitLab project directly, we use
milestones to track Deliverables and other enhancements.
The above boards can be filtered by milestone to provide additional context around priority.
For example a priority::3 security issue (due within 90 days)
will be added to one of the next 3 milestones by the Engineering team during the workflow::scheduling stage to ensure that SLA is met.
