Clean up workflow labels
Many different labels were created related to https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product-development-flow. This issue is intended to outline a plan for cleaning up the extras now that official labels are identified.
Mapping
This is the official list of labels from the page, plus duplicates that mean the same thing. We can add the correct label to the duplicates before we delete them.
| Official Label | Apparent Copies |
|---|---|
| workflowvalidation backlog | ~"validation::backlog [DEPRECATED]" ~"release::validation::backlog [DEPRECATED]" |
| workflowproblem validation | ~"Process::1 Research [DEPRECATED]" ~"validation::problem [DEPRECATED]" ~"release::validation::problem [DEPRECATED]" |
| workflowsolution validation | ~"Process::2 Ideate [DEPRECATED]" ~"validation::solution [DEPRECATED]" ~"release::validation::solution [DEPRECATED]" |
| workflowready for development | ~"workflow::scheduled [DEPRECATED]" |
| ~"workflow::In dev" and workflowready for review | ~"Process::3 Implement [DEPRECATED]" |
| workflowverification (also includes workflowcanary workflowproduction workflowstaging) | ~"Process::4 Retrospective [DEPRECATED]" |
Unknown
These labels appear to be duplicates of the above, are maybe extras, or maybe are missing from the handbook page.
- workflowstart seems to be being used as an unofficial entry into the process instead of putting items in the backlog, but is not documented. We'll ignore it as far as this goes.
Confirmed
- UX solution validation UX problem validation are used by the UX team for internal counting, although they look like duplicates they are not, and should be kept.
