New Pricing Plan focused on Issue Management (Group Issue Board, Epics and Roadmap)

Background

• My company is using the Early Adopter Plan, which ends monday 01/oct/18.
  • Early Adopter Plan (free version of the Silver plan) has the Group Issue Boards, which is very useful for us.
  • We are currently trying to bring all teams (marketing, sales, support) into gitlab (from trello).
  • But the cost would be an issue for us: Bronze $4/user/month is ok, but $19/user/month is prohibitive for us.
• We use gitlab basically for: hosting code and the issue management.
  • All server hosting, tests is done elsewhere (amazon).
  • But almost all of the Premium features are useless for use (security dashboards, pipelines, even gitlab support, ...)

Idea

Create a new Plan focused on Issue Management with:

• All Issue Board Features
  • https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html
• Epics
• Roadmaps

Cost:

• Clubhouse, $8.5/user/month https://clubhouse.io/pricing
• Similar to Jira, $7/user/month https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing
• Trello is charging $10/user/month (and $20/user/mo) https://trello.com/pricing
