Decrease issue time spent in "workflow::design" by having all designers dogfood the Iteration feature => 100%, 27/27
Every stage group Product Designer to dogfood the Iteration feature in GitLab by tracking issue(s) over a period of time during Q4.
The goal for iterations is to allow you to associate issues to more than one timebox, whether your milestone is a program increment or a longer-term goal. Iterations are a term sprint, multi-week time box that eventually will allow us to understand team velocity over time.
- Label an issue with the appropriate validation phase (e.g.,
~workflow::problem validation, design, or solution validation
) and~Dogfooding
and add it to one of the existing iterations in a group. Example: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/iterations - Share one example of where you are dogfooding the Iteration feature.
- In the comments section below, describe how the feature was used.
-
Optional: Try using the iteration report (the iteration detail page; example) to detail how much time the issue stayed in
~"workflow::design"
. Tracking time spent is less about how many hours someone invested in the issue. It's more about getting an accurate understanding of when an issue gets applied the~workflow::design
label and when it transitions out. If we notice some issues stay in that phase for multiple milestones, for example, then it could mean we need to break apart the issue into multiple issues.

- Ping your manager/vkarnes to review your submission.
The success of this KR is having each designer dogfood the iterations feature.
