Don't hide primary actions

Organizing projects into groups within GitLab proved more challenging for new users than initially assumed, as revealed by a Category Maturity Scorecard validation. During testing, most participants struggled to accurately create an organizational structure due to difficulty in discovering the subgroup creation button, which was hidden within a dropdown menu. Participants also faced confusion differentiating between "Groups" and "Projects" and expected a more intuitive, graphical interface or command-line option. To address these issues, the "New project" and "New group" buttons were separated, significantly improving task completion times and user understanding. Future improvements are aimed at enhancing the information architecture by simplifying the relationship between groups and projects, thereby facilitating better cross-team sharing and navigation.
