Explore (Is there a config, how do I go about creating a config, finding out about requirements?) 1. Create (Creating a .GitLab-ci.yml file, using a template, copying a template from the internet, writing it from memory) 1. Validate (Checking up on status, Checking up on progress, the validity of configuration, existence of files, repository composition) 1. Adjust (Adjusting the configuration based on results from the validation phase, web ide, web edit) ### Insights based on flow: #### Explore - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/815 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/827 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/816 #### Create - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/782 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/812 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/813 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/814 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/833 #### Validate - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/781 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/818 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/819 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/828 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/829 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/830 - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/831 #### Adjust - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/uxr_insights/issues/832 #### Last thoughts - We might need to look at this experience for self hosted instances vs GitLab.com
