Manage: Stage MAU Plan
Overview
GitLab uses Stage MAU (https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/metrics/#stage-monthly-active-users-smau) as a primary measuring stick for user engagement with stages.
The ideal definition of Manage Stage MAU is a single number that all Manage groups can contribute to improving. Some groups may have goals that are more highly correlated with improving Stage MAU than others. However, every group should be able to advance their goals and also see Stage MAU increase.
Manage's Stage MAU has been the number of users created on an instance. In https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/telemetry/-/issues/399, we discussed the need for improvements.
