CI/CD UX Team Pilot: Planning UX work and capacity
Goal
Find a way to communicate Product Designer's capacity and run a pilot on adding weights to the UX issues.
Drive a better alignment on UX work that happening in CI/CD stage groups to be able to early identify dependancies and overlaps, as well as able to support Product Designers in other stage groups when needed.
- Communicate the capacity of each Product Designer to Product Managers
- Provide an overview of UX work that is happening in a stage group
- Be in sync on work happening in other stage groups
- Support peers in other stage groups during high workload
- Identify similarities and dependencies between projects in stage groups within CI/CD
Proposal
Each Product Designer on CI/CD UX team will use UX Planning document to provide list of UX work for every milestone, communicate status, assign the effort and weights to the issues. This is aimed at better planning of designers working capacity when working with PMs and better team alignment around understanding our priorities.
Documents
- CI/CD UX Planning
- Example for reference Secure & Defend UX Planning
Next steps
- Have a retrospective after 2-3 milestones to review the results of this proposals (assigned to @nudalova )
- Find out possible ways for automation
- See if we can start using weights for UX issues in GitLab boards
