Problem to solve

Our team uses Agile SCRUM practices. We would like GitLab to use the same terminology as Agile, for example our "Milestones" in GitLab, gets changed to "Sprints".

On the topic of issues: is it possible to have proper agile scrum terminology as opposed to always mapping "Milestone" to spefic agile scrum terminology? I know with TFS/Azure DevOps, when creating git repo based projects; one can choose an agile template to use that has the proper terminology.

Target audience

  • Parker, Product Manager, https://design.gitlab.com/research/personas#persona-parker

  • Delaney, Development Team Lead, https://design.gitlab.com/research/personas#persona-delaney

  • SCRUM Master/Project Manager

Further details

This will help teams adopt GitLab for their Agile planning.

Proposal

Current suggestion is to use a Language as per: Slack conversation (GitLab internal link).

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

If we can, measure the number of customers that apply the language.
