Define Infrastructure department strategy
Why is this change being made?
Inspired by a recent e-team drive to encourage contributions to the company strategy, proposing an Infrastructure Department strategy.
Since I (author of this MR) don't know what to contribute to the company strategy that is already not said, I thought it would be good to see how this will look on the department level.
In order to start on a strategy, I had to ensure that the mission and vision are up to date. The department strategy is laid out in a way that supports the company strategy but translated and expanded for Infrastructure specific environment:
- Product Maturity and customer centricity I believe translate to performance, security and reliability in Infrastructure department
- Open Core strength translates to generating external contributions
- Team growth is also important in the department.
As everything is draft at GitLab, my suggestions are just that and I am open to hearing other views.
