Plan in GitLab Without Losing Context: A Unified Approach to Software Strategy

Master Strategic Planning in GitLab – With Zero Context Switching

Modern software development demands efficiency, clarity, and flexibility—especially during the planning phase. GitLab’s latest enhancements now help teams stay in flow by streamlining strategic planning within the same platform, eliminating the need to jump across tools and tabs.

How often do you find yourself switching from spreadsheets to whiteboards to planning apps, losing context and momentum each time? GitLab removes these disruptions with built-in tools that keep your team coordinated in one place. Define OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), plan roadmaps, track epics, and align delivery—all without leaving the platform.

This cohesive environment facilitates greater cross-functional visibility, ensures alignment on goals, and reinforces accountability. Whether you’re managing quarterly OKRs or sprint tasks, stakeholders and contributors can access and update initiatives directly where the work happens. That means fewer meetings, less manual follow-up, and more forward progress.

Key features include Group-level OKRs that link strategic goals with development progress, integrated planning workspaces that visualise real-time status, and transparent epic hierarchies that show how work aligns with top-level objectives.

Ready to simplify your planning and stay focused? GitLab enables you to:

• Define, track, and cascade OKRs across teams
• Maintain cross-functional roadmap visibility
• Plan workflows directly connected to your codebase
• Automate progress updates and ownership tracking

Whether you’re a startup or an enterprise, aligning delivery to strategy is critical. With GitLab, it’s never been easier.
