Purpose

Help Account Executives use the monthly releases to drive customer interactions

Ask

Add category information and eventually maturity information to the monthly releases

Details

MVC - Add the category to each feature; this could be done inline

Request - Add additional layers of organization to the releases:

  • Underneath each tier (Ultimate, Premium, Starter) group features by stage and category
  • Add the maturity level for each category

Bonus Points - Provide a visual cue when a category increases in maturity level

For Clarity:

  1. MVC is as understood and should be a low bar for us to reach for the 12.4 release
  2. The "Request" is the change we're hoping for the 12.4 release
  3. "Bonus Points" refers to a stretch goal that in collaboration with @williamchia will probably need more planning.

Implementation:

  • The template generator will be updated to present the new data.
  • New optional fields will be added to the /data/release_posts/date#_gitlab_version#_released.yml files going forward.
