Trainee milestone: 12.10
Reassignment milestone (on day 1): 13.0
Part of the TW rebalancing epic: &2865 (closed)
Intro
-
Existing TW: Invite the trainee to the stage Slack channel. Post there letting the stage know about the trainee status/milestone, that you're still the go-to for this milestone while they get ramped up (but they will engage on a variety of MRs), and that the trainee is scheduled to be assigned to all groups of the stage for the subsequent milestone. -
Existing TW: Ensure each PM and EM are aware of the changes and ask them for recommendations on meetings the TW should attend, other resources to monitor, on getting to know the stage/group(s) features and any other prerequisite knowledge (perhaps mirroring this aspect of engineer onboarding - e.g. certain videos or tasks within GitLab), and any other suggestions. Enter those details here, in this issue under Further resources or tasks.
Learn
-
Visit https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#devops-stages and find the group(s). -
Find the listed engineering managers (frontend and backend) on the Org Chart and set up coffee chats with some members of their teams. -
Read the linked Handbook pages and Strategy pages. -
Read the linked top-level doc pages, but also go to https://about.gitlab.com/features/ and follow the Documentation links for each feature page. -
Other than the linked docs, go to https://about.gitlab.com/features/ and review the Documentation links for every feature.
Note: These are not separated by group. To identify the group, you'll need to look up the feature in the source of this page https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/blob/master/data/features.yml and identify its category, then identify which group the category belongs to. (Remember, the hierarchy is Section > Stage > Group > Category > Feature. Group:category relationships are listed here.)
