Summary

Customer Support Operations team’s specific label taxonomy for tracking work in GitLab, covering five scoped label families: Stage (workflow position), Validation (review status), RequestType (work category), Customer (origin team), and Priority (urgency level), plus a roadmap flag.

GitLab 客戶支援運維團隊的標籤分類系統,使用五組 Scoped Label 追蹤工作進度、驗證狀態、請求類型、客戶來源和優先級。

Key Points

  • Stage labels: Triage → Planning → Scheduling → Queued → Development → Validation → Implementation → Completed/Backlogged/Blocked (all scoped, mutually exclusive)
  • Validation labels: Skipped / Awaiting / Received / Rejected — tracks whether validation occurred in the Development stage
  • RequestType: Bug / Feature / Incident / Administrative
  • Customer: ETA / Security / Engineering / Finance / People / Support / Field / Marketing — identifies the requesting department
  • Priority: 1 (urgent) through 4 (low)
  • Labels applied via UI sidebar Edit or /label ~"LABEL_NAME" quick action (tilde required)
  • Remove with /unlabel ~"LABEL_NAME"

Insights

  • The Validation label family is a non-obvious addition — it decouples “did we validate this?” from the workflow stage, enabling reporting on validation coverage independently of where the issue currently sits in the pipeline.

Raw Excerpt

“Stage labels are used to indicate what stage an issue is currently at. Note: These are scoped labels, meaning only one of them can ever be present on an issue at a time.”
