Introducing GitLab's new Planner role for Agile planning teams

GitLab has introduced a new Planner role within its DevSecOps platform, designed to provide planning-focused users and software development teams with access to Agile workflow management tools while maintaining security and compliance through role-based access controls. This role emerged from customer feedback indicating a need for specific access to planning features without broad development permissions, which could introduce security risks. The Planner role combines elements of the Guest and Reporter roles to grant access to key planning tools such as epics, roadmaps, and issue boards, while restricting access to sensitive development features to adhere to the principle of least privilege. Available across all GitLab solutions and license tiers, the Planner role supports Agile practices by allowing team members to participate fully in planning stages without overstepping into development areas. This initiative aligns with GitLab's mission to support enterprise Agile teams and was developed with extensive community involvement to ensure it meets real-world needs.
