Communicating direction updates to groups

Jeremy Watson (ex-GitLab) requested to merge jeremy-master-patch-28189 into master

Why is this change being made?

PMs work on direction pages frequently, but we don't always keep other departments involved when we make updates to our vision.

We should make sure that folks are aware of changes to direction pages by CCing the group on any relevant MRs. We should also take the time to regularly tell others internally about what we're doing; one way of doing this is to host an AMA for your group every month. Another might be to regularly record a video walkthrough of your direction pages on a regular basis.
