Direction Updates CI/CD: December

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 plan.

Check the product development timeline for the due date for this content.
