INITIATIVE: Cycles and Review

Release notes

Problem to solve

Right now it's hard to track work on a regular cadence that gives a timely update of specific work to be done. Other systems give monthly, weekly or yearly status updates via email or issues.

Proposal

Once we have the ability to embed queries as tables into GitLab flavored markdown, use a cycle or cadence to create dynamic Issue Templates that contain a summary or status update.

For example, my report could be:

var date_start = Jan 26, 2022;
var date_end = Feb 2, 2022;

**Title:** Weekly checking Jan 26-Feb, 2022 for Product Planning

Currently in Dev:

[QUERY RENDER AS TABLE: Work items with ~"group::product planning" ~"workflow::in dev" ]

Moved to Production this week:

[QUERY RENDER AS TABLE: Work items with ~"group::product planning" where Closed = true within Daterange ]

Intended users

• Parker (Product Manager)
• Delaney (Development Team Lead)
