VSD - Split metics into categorised panels

Problem

The current iteration of the "comparison table" visualization shows all SDLC metrics in a single table.

This makes it hard to differentiate between metrics in different categories such as lifecycle, DORA, security, etc.

Proposal

  • Option A - Separate metrics by using different panels

Rationale:

  • This option solves the problem of chunking the information
  • This option will be the easiest to implement and will reduce the need of adding complexity to existing UI patterns (See comment: #461748 (comment 2037477370))
  • This option is easily reversible (See two way door decision)
  • Since the Created by GitLab dashboards serve as a showcase of what is possible to create, we should set an example of what good defaults and best practices look like. In this case making sure each panels answers a specific set of questions at a glance. See Option A - custom dashboard example.
