Coming in 11.3: Seamless top-down and bottom-up planning with epics and roadmap

Epics and roadmaps are new features in GitLab Ultimate and GitLab.com Gold, designed to facilitate planning and tracking of larger initiatives within teams. An epic represents a larger scope of work compared to an issue and operates at the group level, allowing for a broader discussion and linkage of multiple issues under its umbrella. The roadmap offers a timeline-based visualization of these epics, aiding in both long-term, top-down planning and short-term, bottom-up planning. Top-down planning involves creating strategic initiatives with fixed dates and high-level collaboration, whereas bottom-up planning focuses on actionable tasks and detailed designs with dynamic dates derived from milestones. The integration of these features enables seamless transitions between planning approaches, automatically updating the roadmap to reflect the current status and timeline of all epics.
