Triage package v2.0 with customer bugs and missed SLO bugs

Background

We are making progress in lowering the time to resolve bugs and increasing awareness.

Its time for an iteration on the content and the structure of the triage content.

Current structure

We currently have 3 sections.

Examples

  • https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/12050
  • https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/12042
  1. ~feature issues with no milestone and we request that product managers add a milestone to them.
  2. ~bug with frontend issues with no severity and priority labels. We then ask the frontend manager to schedule them.
  3. ~bug with with no severity and priority labels. We then ask the frontend manager to schedule them.

Improvements

  1. With Product Managers grooming their features continuously we should consider changing section 1. to narrow down only ~feature with customer. Continue to ask them to be scheduled.
  2. With Quality handling triage level 1 which includes adding a severity label, we should change section 2. and 3. to just ~bug without a milestone. Ask the EM to ensure that the priority is correct or set and schedule a milestone. Maintain 15 max count and prioritize ~bug with customer first. !140 (closed)
  3. Include a report on bugs that is past their SLO #137 (closed)
  4. Include heat map on all ~bug for that area. #166 (closed)
  5. Update handbook triage package information.

Format

Hi, PM_PLACEHOLDER FE_EM_PLACEHOLDER BE_EM_PLACEHOLDER This is a group or stage level triage package that aims to summarize the feature proposals and bugs which have not been scheduled or triaged. For more information please refer to the handbook:

  • https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/guidelines/triage-operations/#current-packages

Scheduling the workload is a collaborative effort by the Product Managers and Engineering Managers for that group. Please work together to provide a best estimate on priority and milestone assignments. For each issue please:

  • Determine if the issue should be closed if it is no longer relevant or a duplicate.
  • If it is still relevant please assign either a best estimate versioned milestone, the %Backlog or the %Awaiting further demand milestone.
  • Specifically for ~bug, if there is no priority or clarity on a versioned milestone, please add a Priority label. Priority labels have an estimate SLO attached to them and help team members and the wider community understand roughly when it will be considered to be scheduled.
    • LINK_TO_PRIORITY_DEFINITION
  • Once a milestone has been assigned please check off the box for that issue.
  • Please work with your team to complete the list by the due date set.

Heat map report

Here is a heat map report on the distribution of open ~bug for your area.
