A comment on Gitlab 10.7 Released.

Re:Gitlab 10.7 Released by Freak_NL on Monday April 23, 2018 @04:14AM (#16901472)
We use GitLab at a small company (around 15 employees), and love it because it's free in its core offering, self-hosted, and works really well. Conveniently, it comes with MatterMost included out of the box. Great for intra-office communication!

We are at the point where we wouldn't mind scaling up to the paid 'Starter' level of GitLab if it would mean being able to replace Jira as our issue tracker. One thing that worries me though, is how GitLab seems to focus all of the relevant developments in that area (epics, roadmaps, etc.) on their 'Supreme' level of paid plans, which is way beyond our means.

Is there a clear plan for the issue tracking side of things as far as the 'Core' and 'Starter' offerings are concerned?

We are continuing to improve our issue tracking / project management at different tiers. You can take a look at these epics and issues to see much of the work that we have already planned. Most of these issues are in Core or Starter:

https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/8

https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5

https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6

https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/22

https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/156

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3969

Highlights are bulk subscriptions of issues, better subgroup support for labels and milestones, and expanded issue weight support.

As you noted a lot of the planning features are focussed on portfolio management that is part of our ultimate tier.

The plans for starter are detailed on https://about.gitlab.com/direction/#starter right now the only issue management one is and API for boards https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/4266

Of course when you start paying for starter you gain the many features that are already in there: https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/self-hosted/feature-compari...
