Summary

GitLab Customer Support Operations team’s specific board configurations, covering three boards: Stages (primary workflow board using Stage:: scoped labels), Customers (request origin by team), and Request Type (bug/incident/feature/admin). Boards are used to get workload overview, move issues between stages, and plan iterations.

Key Points

  • Primary board is “Stages” — tracks issues through: Triage → Planning → Scheduling → Queued → Deployment → Validation → Implementation → Blocked/Backlogged
  • Stage labels are scoped (Stage::), meaning only one can be active at a time
  • Customer board uses Customer:: scoped labels to route work by requesting department (Support, Security, Engineering, Finance, People, Field, Marketing)
  • Request Type board uses RequestType:: labels: Bug, Feature, Incident, Administrative
  • All boards show both Open and Closed lists with no milestone/iteration/label/assignee filtering

Insights

  • This document is a concrete implementation example of the abstract board guidelines — useful as a reference when designing a similar workflow for a new team. The Stage label taxonomy (Triage → Queued → Implementation) is a reasonable starting point for any ops team.
