There are four distinct stages of a [component lifecycle](https://design.gitlab.com/contribute/lifecycle/): * **Create:** A need for a component is identified. Documentation is written regarding its usage and the component is created and added to the Pattern Library. ~"pajamas::create" * **Build:** The component is added to gitlab-ui, including specs, examples, and documentation. The component is added to Pajamas. ~"pajamas::build" * **Style:** Each component is styled according to the design specs found in Pajamas. Components function correctly and match usage guidelines. ~"pajamas::style" * **Integrate:** The documented component is integrated into GitLab the product. ~"pajamas::integrate" This epic comprises all components we have identified to date, along with their respective stages. In order to maintain a reliable roadmap, we use the following labels for organization: * Each issue within a stage should be tagged with its corresponding stage label. * Each issue related to a particular component should be tagged with its own unique label across stages. This will make it easy to prioritize issues within our [Pajamas Design System issue board](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/boards/1024944?label_name[]=Pajamas), as well as filter by particular components.
