feature request: simple UI toggle
Problem to solve
people brand new to engineering tools, processes, culture struggle to onboard at GitLab particularly with dogfooding
Intended users
Sales, PeopleOps, Business Ops, Legal, Finance, etc-we don't have a persona listed on the handbook page that represents these types of roles that represent about half company.
Further details
- need to onboard faster
- need more training or simpler, more intuitive UI for these personas
Proposal
Have a toggle for a UI that can be turned on for non-engineer roles that simplify or use "transition" concepts to help people understand what they are doing.
- MVP could be to strip out extra sections of the sidebar or have help text that explains things in the UI

Testing
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Success looks like:
- faster onboarding
- increased dogfooding
- reduced turnover
- hiring can be expanded to people who might be skeptical of complete dogfooding
- increased customer usage across their departments
- increased open source uses
What is the type of buyer?
- customers would benefit from this model too since they would have less driving force to use GitLab across their companies
