Update Product Kickoff Process to Use Playlists

Taylor McCaslin requested to merge tmccaslin-kickoff-playlists into master

What's being changed

Update the Product Kickoff process to have PMs use a group-specific playlist for their group's kickoff videos. This removes the previous process of opening an MR to update the kickoff page with each group's video URL.

Why is it being changed?

Eficiency—This will eliminate ~35 MRs to update video links on the Kickoff page, every release. Today each PM opens an individual MR to update their video link. This happens for all groups. Group PMs and Directors then go and merge in these MRs one by one, which can result in conflicts and frustration.

Using playlists instead removes the need for these MRs all together. PMs will still link in their videos to make it easy for group leads to view their videos.

This change was proposed and well received during feedback for 13.2
