Clear link from Milestone page to Milestone-filtered Issue Board
Problem to solve
Removal of Issue lists on Milestone page make it more difficult to quickly see Issues associated with a given Milestone. It should easy to go from a Milestone's page to an Issue Board of Issues associated with the Milestone, organized into Lists.
Target audience
- Parker, Product Manager, https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/product-marketing/roles-personas#parker-product-manager
- Delaney, Development Team Lead, https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/product-marketing/roles-personas#delaney-development-team-lead
- Sasha, Software Developer, https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/product-marketing/roles-personas#sasha-software-developer
Further details
Currently the Milestone page (ex: %1.0.0 in AlanDeSmet/gitlab-playground ) includes a listing of Issues associated with the Milestone, roughly grouped into several categories (Unstarted/Ongoing/Completed). This is handy, but not as useful as the Issue Board, which I why I imagine it's deprecated. I find myself checking the list of Issues for Milestones this way frequently. Although I can get similar (and in some way superior!) information from the Issue Board, I need to manually activate a filter to see just the Milestone in question. An easier way to arrive at the filtered Issue Board would be ideal.
Proposal
When a user is viewing the page for a specific Milestone (for example: %1.0.0 in AlanDeSmet/gitlab-playground ), have a clear link "See Issue Board for Milestone 1.0.0" which links to the project's Issue Board with &milestone_title=MILESTONE_TITLE
appended.
Now, when a user is looking at a Milestone page, they can quickly go to see the associate issues and their status, as organized in the Issue Board.
Permissions and Security
No new permissions handling or security should be required. I don't believe it's possible to see a Milestone's page but not the Issue Board. This just adds a link. Existing security should control access to the Issue Board.
Documentation
I don't believe the contents of the Milestone page is currently documented, so no new documentation should be necessary. The link should be self-documenting.
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
There is a new, clearly visible and labelled link to the project's Issue Board, filtered by the matching Milestone, on a given Milestone's page.
