Direction Updates Dev: September
Introduction
After each release it's important to update your category and stage visions to ensure they accurately reflect what was delivered, especially in the What's Next
sections. You should also consider this an opportunity to make any updates that you might have been considering but not put the time into creaeting an MR for. Consider creating a branch and reviewing each of your Direction pages (Stage and Categories) one-by-one looking for updates.
Be sure to follow the most up-to-date guidance in the handbook about managing your product direction.
Check the product development timeline for the due date for this content.
Tasks
Submit and merge MRs for any needed updates. If there are updates, post them in the appropriate channels (#s_, #g_)

🔭 Update Group Categories and Related Themes
For example the direction/verify/continous_integration or direction/monitor/health/incident_management pages.
Note: Before submitting for review or merging yourself, be sure to:
- Consider whether you can separate out controversial and non-controversial updates to focus discussion and feedback on specific changes
- Look at your page in the review app to make sure that it looks like you expect and you don't have markdown errors
- Run a spell check and/or grammar checker
- Open all your links and make sure none go to issues you've already delivered/moved or are otherwise dead links
- Review and update the entire document, not just the what's next section
