VSD - Add the members count to the usage overview panel
Release note
Introducing Overview Usage Widget for Enhanced Visibility into Software Delivery
We're introducing the latest addition to GitLab's Value Streams Dashboard: the Overview Usage panel, designed to address the need for executive-level insights into software delivery. This new widget gives a clear picture of GitLab usage, providing executives with a comprehensive understanding of the platform usage in the context of SDLC metrics.
Problem
Software delivery with GitLab is a black-box for the executive. With the heavy investment they made in GitLab, they want to understand what happened so far and what was the platform usage. This becomes more and more important as remote work grows.
The current Usage trend report is limited to SM and admin-only, but we should making this information widely available to the entire management. This related to the FY25 investment themes of adding parity between Self-Managed & GitLab.com.
Proposal
Exposing the member's count via graphql is being introduced in #423513 (closed). This is the frontend issue to add the new metric to the panel.
