3 Rules for tackling thousands of open issues

GitLab employs a structured and efficient system for managing engineering tasks, prioritizing regressions, deliverables, and bugs to ensure productivity and code quality. This approach minimizes the need for excessive meetings and emphasizes asynchronous communication through issue boards and labels, enabling engineers to focus primarily on coding. Regressions are given top priority to maintain existing functionalities, while deliverables are planned and assigned based on team strengths and deadlines. Bugs are addressed in available time, allowing developers to familiarize themselves with the codebase and contribute to software stability. This method, introduced by CTO Dmitriy Zaporozhets, fosters self-sufficiency among remote engineers and ensures transparent progress tracking, making it easier to meet project goals.
