Interfaces

We want intuitive interfaces both within the company and with the wider community. This makes it more efficient for everyone to contribute or to get a question answered. Therefore, the following interfaces are based on the product categories defined on this page:

• Home page
• Product page
• Product Features
• Pricing page
• DevOps Lifecycle
• DevOps Tools
• Product Direction
• Stage visions
• Documentation
• Engineering Engineering Manager/Developer/Designer titles, their expertise, and department, and team names.
• Product manager responsibilities which are detailed on this page
• Our pitch deck, the slides that we use to describe the company
• Strategic marketing specializations

Hierarchy

The categories form a hierarchy:

1. Sections: Are a collection of stages. We attempt to align these logically along common workflows like Dev, Sec and Ops. Sections are maintained in data/sections.yml.
2. Stages: are aligned logically starting with the 8 loop stages of Plan, Create, Verify, Secure, Package, Release, Configure, and Monitor. We then add the value stages that we talk about in marketing. These include Manage and Govern. Lastly, we add the team stages: Ecosystem, Growth, and Enablement. These stages have groups that rally around the same users, GitLab integrators, GitLab itself, and GitLab administrators, respectively. Stages are maintained in data/stages.yml. Each stage has a corresponding devops::<stage> label under the gitlab-org group.
3. Group: A stage has one or more groups. Groups are maintained in data/stages.yml. Each group has a corresponding group::<group> label under the gitlab-org group.
4. Categories: A group has one or more categories. Categories are high-level capabilities that may be a standalone product at another company. e.g. Portfolio Management. To the extent possible we should map categories to vendor categories defined by analysts. There are a maximum of 8 high-level categories per stage to ensure we can display this on our website and pitch deck. (Categories that do not show up on marketing pages show up here in italics and do not count toward this limit.) There may need to be fewer categories, or shorter category names, if the aggregate number of lines when rendered would exceed 13 lines, when accounting for category names to word-wrap, which occurs at approximately 15 characters. Categories are maintained in data/categories.yml. Each category has a corresponding Category:<Category> label under the gitlab-org group. Category maturity is managed in the product Category Maturity Change process
5. Features: Small, discrete functionalities. e.g. Issue weights. Some common features are listed within parentheses to facilitate finding responsible PMs by keyword. Features are maintained in data/features.yml. It's recommended to associate feature labels to a category or a group with feature_labels in the data/categories.yml or data/stages.yml.

Notes:

• Groups may have scope as large as all categories in a stage, or as small as a single category within a stage, but most will form part of a stage and have a few categories in them.
• Stage, group, category, and feature labels are used by the automated triage operation "Stage and group labels inference from category labels".
• We don't move categories based on capacity. We put the categories in the stages where they logically fit, from a customer perspective. If something is important and the right group doesn't have capacity for it, we adjust the hiring plan for that group, or do global optimizations to get there faster.
• We don't have silos. If one group needs something in a category that is owned by another group, go ahead and contribute it.
• This hierarchy includes both paid and unpaid features.

Naming

Anytime one hierarchy level's scope is the same as the one above or below it, they can share the same name.

For groups that have two or more categories, but not all categories in a stage, the group name must be a unique word or a summation of the categories they cover.

If you want to refer to a group in context of their stage you can write that as "Stage:Group". This can be useful in email signatures, job titles, and other communications. E.g. "Monitor:Health" rather than "Monitor Health" or "Monitor, Health."

When naming a new stage, group, or category, you should search the handbook and main marketing website to look for other naming conflicts which could confuse customers or employees. Uniqueness is preferred if possible to help drive clarity and reduce confusion. See additional product feature naming guidelines as well.

More Details

Every category listed on this page must have a link to a direction page. Categories may also have documentation and marketing page links. When linking to a category using the category name as the anchor text (e.g. from the chart on the homepage) you should use the URLs in the following hierarchy:

Marketing product page > docs page > direction page

E.g Link the marketing page. If there's no marketing page, link to the docs. If there's no docs, link to the direction page.

Solutions

Solutions can consist of multiple categories and are typically used to align to a customer challenge (e.g. the need to reduce security and compliance risk) or to market segments defined by analysts such as Software Composition Analysis (SCA). Solutions are also often used to align to challenges unique to an industry vertical (e.g. financial services), or to a sales segment (e.g. SMB vs Enterprise).

Solutions typically represent a customer challenge, and we define how GitLab capabilities come together to meet that challenge, with business benefits of using our solution.

Market segments defined by analysts don't always align to GitLab stages and categories and often include multiple categories. Two most frequently encountered are:

1. Software Composition Analysis (SCA) = Dependency Scanning + License Compliance + Container Scanning
2. Enterprise Agile Planning (EAP) = Team Planning + Planning Analytics + Portfolio Management + Requirements Management

We are intentional in not defining SCA as containing SAST and Code Quality despite some analysts using the term to also include those categories.

Capabilities

Capabilities can refer to stages, categories, or features, but not solutions.

Layers

Adding more layers to the hierarchy would give it more fidelity but would hurt usability in the following ways:

1. Harder to keep the interfaces up to date.
2. Harder to automatically update things.
3. Harder to train and test people.
4. Harder to display more levels.
5. Harder to reason, falsify, and talk about it.
6. Harder to define what level something should be in.
7. Harder to keep this page up to date.

We use this hierarchy to express our organizational structure within the Product and Engineering organizations. Doing so serves the goals of:

• Making our groups externally recognizable as part of the DevOps lifecycle so that stakeholders can easily understand what teams might perform certain work
• Ensuring that internally we keep groups to a reasonable number of stable counterparts

As a result, it is considered an anti-pattern to how we've organized for categories to move between groups out of concern for available capacity.

When designing the hierarchy, the number of sections should be kept small and only grow as the company needs to re-organize for span-of-control reasons. i.e. each section corresponds to a Director of Engineering and a Director of Product, so it's an expensive add. For stages, the DevOps loop stages should not be changed at all, as they're determined from an external source. At some point we may change to a different established bucketing, or create our own, but that will involve a serious cross-functional conversation. While the additional value stages are our own construct, the loop and value stages combined are the primary stages we talk about in our marketing, sales, etc. and they shouldn't be changed lightly. The other stages have more flexibility as they're not currently marketed in any way, however we should still strive to keep them as minimal as possible. Proliferation of a large number of stages makes the product surface area harder to reason about and communicate if/when we decide to market that surface area. As such, they're tied 1:1 with sections so they're the minimal number of stages that fit within our organizational structure. e.g. Growth was a single group under Enablement until we decided to add a Director layer for Growth; then it was promoted to a section with specialized groups under it. The various buckets under each of the non-DevOps stages are captured as different groups. Groups are also a non-marketing construct, so we expand the number of groups as needed for organizational purposes. Each group usually corresponds to a backend engineering manager and a product manager, so it's also an expensive add and we don't create groups just for a cleaner hierarchy; it has to be justified from a span-of-control perspective or limits to what one product manager can handle.

Changes

The impact of changes to sections, stages and groups is felt across the company.

All new category creation needs to be specifically approved via our Opportunity Canvas review process. This is to avoid scope creep and breadth at the expense of depth and user experience.

Merge requests with changes to sections, stages and groups and significant changes to categories need to be created, approved, and/or merged by each of the below:

1. Chief Product Officer
2. VP of Product
3. The Director of Product relevant to the affected Section(s)
4. The Director of Engineering relevant to the affected Section(s)
5. Director of Product Design

The following people need to be on the merge request so they stay informed:

1. Chief Technology Officer
2. VP of Development
3. Director of Quality Engineering
4. Engineering Productivity (by @ mentioning @gl-quality/eng-prod)
5. The Product Marketing Manager relevant to the stage group(s)
6. Senior Manager, Technical Writing

After approval and prior to merging, ping the Engineering Manager for Quality Engineering in the MR, if there are changes that:

• Add a new category, group, stage or section
• Move an existing category to a new or existing group
• Move an existing group to a new or existing stage
• Move an existing stage to a new or existing section
• Rename a group, stage or section
• Delete a group, stage or section

This is to ensure that GitLab Bot auto-labeling can be updated prior to the change, which can be disruptive if missed.

Upon approval, tag the group Technical Writer in the merge request to ensure documentation metadata is updated after the category change is merged.

Examples

Because it helps to be specific about what is a significant change and what should trigger the above approval process, below are two non-exhaustive lists of examples that would and would not, respectively, require approval.

Changes that require the above approvers include:

• Changes to a section, stage, group, or category name
• Removal or addition of a section, stage, group, or category

Changes that require approval only from the relevant Product Director include:

• Changing a category maturity date
• Changes to section or group member lists
• Changes to a category vision page

Changing category name

When changing an existing category name, there are some considerations to the order of events:

• First, create a MR to change the name in data/stages.yml and spec/homepage/category_spec.rb.
• Get sign off from all required stakeholders listed in the instructions above. Final signoff should be requested in the #ceo channel with a link to the MR once all other signoffs are complete.
• Merge the name change MR.
• Tag the category's technical writer so that they can update the documentation metadata
• Re-name the category direction page with a new MR. Search for the old category name on the category direction page to ensure the name has been updated in all places.
• Use the #it-help Slack channel to request an update to Slack channel name for the re-named category

Changing category maturity

We primarily use the Category Maturity Scorecard process to determine category maturity.

Typically, category maturity moves up from planned to minimal to viable to complete to lovable. However, maturity can also be downgraded. For example, in cases where we discover a JTBD is not met (see example), or when we change the definition of maturity, we may choose to move category maturity down.

When downgrading product maturity, we adjust our customer's current expectations about our product. This is particularly impactful to our go-to-market team members in customer success and product marketing. We need to do the following to enable alignment between all affected and interested parties:

• Raise an MR for the downgrade and clearly state the reasons for change in the description (see example)
• Inform VP, Product Management by adding them as Reviewer on the MR
• Notify the product group counterparts in the MR; Product Marketing, Product Designer, Engineering Manager, and Technical Writer
• Post the MR in the #customer-success slack channel prior to merging, to allow the team to assess impact and adjust
• Post the MR in the #product slack channel for awareness

Possible future Stages

We have boundless ambition, and we expect GitLab to continue to add new stages to the DevOps lifecycle. Below is a list of future stages we are considering:

1. Data, maybe leveraging Meltano product
2. Networking, maybe leveraging some of the open source standards for networking and/or Terraform networking providers
3. Design, we already have design management today
4. Govern, combined dashboards for secure, govern, and maybe things like requirements management

Stages are different from the application types you can service with GitLab.

Maturity

Not all categories are at the same level of maturity. Some are just minimal and some are lovable. See the category maturity page to see where each category stands.

Facilitated functionality

Some product areas are have a broad impact across multiple stages. Examples of this include, among others:

• Shared project views, like the project overview and settings page.
• Functionality specific to the admin area and not tied to a feature belonging to a particular stage.
• UI components available through our design system, Pajamas.

While the mental models for these areas are maintained by specific stage groups, everyone is encouraged to contribute within the guidelines that those teams establish. For example, anyone can contribute a new setting following the established guidelines for Settings. When a contribution is submitted that does not conform to those guidelines, we merge it and "fix forward" to encourage innovation.

If you encounter an issue falling into a facilitated area:

• For issues that relate to updating the guidelines, apply the group::category label for the facilitating group.
• For issues that relate to adding content related to a facilitated area, apply the group::category label for the most closely related group. For example, when adding a new setting related to Merge Requests, apply the group::source code label.
