WIP - Low risk UX issue that does not require an exception

Mek Stittri requested to merge ux-issues-bypass-exception-request into master

Per discussion in Engineering Staff meeting on June 13th 2018: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qNd9UusbWmSCXKF49-l1XbxiiGcdECRZUgg4cqYHfp8/edit#heading=h.383d08h26h5u.

We need to allow low-risk UX fixes to bypass the Exception Request. This came up as @jramsay found a UX issue in 11.0 and was not able to request an Exception Request in time. gitlab-org/release/tasks#261 (closed)

The fix to this was simple:

a fix that adds resize capabilities to the right panel of the Web IDE, making the feature usable.

The fix for this was only contained in the frontend .vue file. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/19558/diffs

Decision

The proposal that we discussed is to allow low-risk UX fixes to bypass the Exception Request.

  • If the issue is a ~S4 Severity and does not require a Backend change to address.
  • Requires a review from a UX team member for sign-off.
