Add runbooks as category to release

Jason Yavorska requested to merge jlenny-RunbooksCategory into master

This introduces runbooks as a new category for release in 2019, with https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/56091 as the first MVC to move forward with this feature. There are a few reasons why I think this is its own category, rather than a bullet point under release orchestration:

  • Runbooks can also solve other operational needs; release orchestration problems can be solved here, but so can other interesting things
  • Introduces new internal customer (production team)
  • Also competes in new spaces against different kinds of products

I've placed this under the 'supporting functions' subgroup of Release, which I think this makes sense there as a standalone product category and also balances things more equally.

To-DO

If this is approved, I will need to:

  • create category vision epic for runbooks
  • create a few more follow up items for improvements to include in category vision
  • update existing issues as appropriate
