Add an organization-level dynamic deployments list
Release notes
Problem to solve
As a release manager/platform engineer managing deployments, I want to see a high level overview of what's being deployed in their organization, in order to manage & approve deployments effectively.
Part of the Release JTBD:
Tracking and coordinating deployments
When I am planning deployments or changes to production I want to make sure all my teams are informed and know what changes will be made so I can ensure our customers have a positive experience with our code/product.
When I am planning deployments or changes to production I want to use a single tool across multiple projects so I can reduce failure points in the devops lifecycle as a switch tools.
When managing changes to production, I want to take action on deployments across my organization from a single place, so I can have better control of our production changes.
This issue is a follow up to the work currently ongoing at Add dynamically populated organization-level en... (#241506 - closed)
Intended users
User experience goal
Being able to see all current, pending and recent deployments in my organization, and directly act upon them.
Proposal
A dynamic list of deployments within the GitLab namespace the user is currently at:
- If on a Project, the page shows all deployments to environments within that project
- If on a Group, the page shows all deployments to environments within projects in that group
- If on a Workspace, the page shows all deployments to environments within groups in that workspace
Users will have access to a variety of filters and ordenation options to setup a view that shows exactly the deployments they need. All of these settings should be reflected in the URL, so users can share URLs that map to the specific views they need to keep an eye on.
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Usage metrics shows users are navigating into deployments from this view, as well as conducting deployment approvals/rejections from here. The absolute number of unique URLs created by users in this page can also be another signal of successful usage.
