Summary

Customer Support Operations team’s milestone usage: one milestone per calendar month representing a deployment period, with a standardized title format (CustSuppOps Deployment YYYY-MM-01) and date range spanning the previous month.

GitLab 客戶支援運維團隊以每月部署為單位建立 Milestone,標題格式固定,起始日期為前一個月的第一天。

Key Points

  • Each milestone = one monthly deployment period
  • Title format: CustSuppOps Deployment YYYY-MM-01 (four-digit year, two-digit month)
  • Start date: one month before the title date (e.g., deployment 2025-05-01 → start 2025-04-01)
  • Due date: same as the title date
  • Milestones are created manually in bulk during the last month of GitLab’s fiscal year (January) for the upcoming year
  • Apply milestone via UI sidebar or /milestone %"TITLE" quick action; remove with /remove_milestone

Insights

  • Pre-creating all 12 milestones annually in one batch is a pragmatic operations pattern — it avoids the recurring overhead of milestone creation and ensures consistent naming before any issues are filed.
