Each team member contributes to making day-to-day processes more efficient and effective, and will work with marketing operations as well as other relevant teams (including field marketing, content marketing, and product marketing) prior to modification of processes.
In line with GitLab's overall communication guidelines, campaign managers work through MRs first and issues second (in order to preserve documentation), and our slack channel #marketing_programs is used for team updated and quick questions.
The #demand-gen channel is used for weekly check-ins and interaction with the larger demand generation team.
In between bi-weekly Campaigns Team Connect calls:

⏱ The SLA (Service Level Agreement) - 5 business days - begins when all details (including 100% final copy) is provided in the issue.
Copy must be 100% final in order to be triaged. This includes final edits for copy, grammar, sentence structure and readability, as well as review by relevant stakeholders (such as managers, product mktg, content mktg, sales, etc.
The issue requester is responsible for ensuring that appropriate mktg-status labels are applied to the issue (issue templates have the tags built in to assist).
The due date applied when the issue is submitted is not final. The workback calculator is a guideline to assist your project planning, however if details are not provided in the issue 5 business days prior by requestor, the issue timeline will be at risk and likely to be pushed out.
We ask that teams request work using the following issue templates in the campaigns project. These templates more clearly indicate what information and details are required in order for the request to be triaged.
Note on timelines: The campaigns team is focused on top-funnel campaign strategy, execution, and optimization. Team member milestones include work to support top funnel goals as part of Segment Marketing Plan and requests will be committed to as bandwidth permits. Please see section on turnaround time & SLAs.
The following issue templates are used by the campaigns team to organize their work, with appropriate labels applied for project management.
The following issue templates are used by the campaigns team to organize their work, with appropriate labels applied for project management.
/assign @ - issues should have only DRI based on who will complete the work in the issue. If work needs to be completed by multiple people, consider breaking into separate issues with clear deliverables and due dates. (example: /assign @jgragnola)/due 2020- - add due date based on workback schedules (example: /due 2020-07-13 or /due tomorrow or /due 07/13/2020)/milestone % - add milestone based on the due date of the issue (example: /milestone %"Mktg: )/weight - add weight between 1-5, with 1 being easiest (between 1-4 hours of time) and 5 being most complext (a full week of work). The majority of issues should fall into 1-2. If estimation is weight of 3+, break into separate issues for more manageable pieces to fit into milestones. (example: /weight 1)/epic - add epic of the overarching campaign or project to keep things organized. In almost all cases, there is a larger initiative that the issue relates to, so it is best practice to associate issues to the most relevant epic for visibility. (example: /epic [https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-com/marketing/-/epics/370](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-com/marketing/-/epics/370))Beginning Q3 FY21, the demand gen campaigns team will begin an issue intake process to evaluate comprehensive details of request and assign based on milestone bandwidth and priorities. Requests may be submitted using the correct issue templates.
Issues will be triaged as demonstrated in the diagram below. Please note: All required details in a given issue template must be completed in order for the SLA timeline to begin.

mktg-status::triage in order for the request to be reviewed again.Team manager completes daily review of issues in triage assessing the following standards:
Submitter Checklist sufficiently complete in order to begin work?
mktg-status::wip, assign based on triage diagram, and put in current milestone (to be adjusted as needed by assignee)mktg-status::blocked with reminder that SLA will begin when the details are submitted - more details hereTo be built out
When a team member is picking up an issue from the backlog:
/label ~"mktg-status::wip"
/assign @
/milestone %Mktg:2021-
This will change the status to wip (work in progress), allow quick assignment and add to the appropriate milestone.
The campaigns team uses the overall 2-week marketing milestones (format of Mktg: YYYY-MM-DD) to organize, prioritize, and balance campaigns, projects, and requests.
