It should be a natural and integrated\npractice throughout the development lifecycle, not a manual, contrived process\nthat requires administration and maintenance. By integrating every step of the\nsoftware development lifecycle and providing all the necessary collaboration\ntools, GitLab by default provides all the capabilities modern development teams need to support cross-functional collaboration at scale. GitLab was created so teams could focus more on their work, not on configuring their tools.\n\n\u003C!-- more -->\n\nLast year, we announced the first iteration of the [GitLab Issue Board](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html), a major\nmilestone in our mission to create an open source and integrated\nproduct for modern software development. Built on top of our integrated issue\ntracking system, it became possible to visualize your work and customize your\nworkflow inside of GitLab.\n\nToday, GitLab comes with everything you need to plan and track projects and\nreleases, including issues (tracker and board), milestones, burndown charts,\nchat integration, and more. Communication is centralized, plans\nand progress are visible, and work is linked, making collaboration frictionless.\n\nTo celebrate our progress over the past year, no small thanks to the community and feedback from our customers, we wanted to take a look at where\nthe Issue Board has gone since we launched its first iteration in GitLab 8.11.\n\n## The evolution of the GitLab Issue Board\n\nAt GitLab, we practice [Conversational Development](http://conversationaldevelopment.com/). Our software development is centered around conversations on what can be improved, how to implement it,\nwhether or not it worked, and if it achieved the expected value. Instead of\nwaiting months to release a “perfect” feature, we work on smaller, functional\nchanges that can get into the hands of our users much more quickly. There’s a few reasons why we develop software this way: in addition to being\nable to deliver value faster, we can also react to the market and iterate faster with more frequent feedback loops, and if something goes wrong, it’s easier to spot and fix the problem.\n\nThis is how we built the GitLab Issue Board. We started by shipping the basic\nfunctionality needed to allow users to visualize and track their issues. Over the last 12 months, we’ve released small changes every month. Today, the GitLab Issue Board has everything you need to plan and track your projects and releases.\n\nHere’s how we built it over multiple monthly releases:\n\n### August—October 2016 | GitLab 8.11-13\nThe [GitLab Issue Board](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html)\nis released in 8.11. Built on top of our integrated issue\ntracking system, it uses labels from issues to create lists on a board. You can drag and drop lists to organize your workflow, move issues between lists, and labels are updated automatically as you move them across the board.\n\nUsers now have the ability to [create workflows inside of GitLab](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html#creating-workflows).\n\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://about.gitlab.com/images/8_11/issue_boards.gif\" alt=\"Issue Boards in GitLab 8.11\" class=\"shadow\">\n\n[Multiple Issue Boards](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html#multiple-issue-boards) are released in 8.13. Users can now create multiple\nworkflows, allowing different teams to create their own customized boards with\nthe same issues. Once a board is finished, you can leave it as is to review later, or recycle it.\n\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://about.gitlab.com/images/8_13/m_ib.gif\" alt=\"Multiple Issue Boards in GitLab 8.13\" class=\"shadow\">\n\n### January—February 2017 | GitLab 8.16-17\nNew search and filter interface is added to the [Issue Tracker](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/index.html) in 8.16, making it easier for users to search and filter their issues by different attributes such as author, assignee, milestone, and label.\n\nThe new search and filter interface is added to the Issue Board in GitLab 8.17,\nimproving usability. A modal window is added to display all issues that don’t belong to a list for easier search and filtering.\nIssues can be added to a list from the modal, and issues can be removed from a\nlist on the board.\n\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://about.gitlab.com/images/8_17/board_modal.png\" alt=\"Add issues modal in board in GitLab 8.17\" class=\"shadow\">\n\n### March 2017 | GitLab 9.0\n[Milestones](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/milestones/index.html) are added to the Issue Board in GitLab 9.0 enabling users to organize issues into cycles or sprints with a start date and deadline. Issues can be filtered on the board by milestone, or new boards can be created for individual milestones.\n\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://about.gitlab.com/images/9_0/boards_milestone.gif\" alt=\"Boards Milestone\" class=\"shadow\">\n\nThe ability to [reorder issues in a Board list](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html#re-ordering-an-issue-in-a-list) is also introduced in 9.0. Now, users prioritize issues within a list simply by dragging and dropping the issue card.\n\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://about.gitlab.com/images/9_0/boards_reorder.gif\" alt=\"Boards Reorder\" class=\"shadow\">\n\n## Get started with GitLab Issue Boards\n\nStart building your project and release management workflows using the Issue Board.\n\n\u003Ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/CiolDtBIOA0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen>\u003C/iframe>\n\nIn this video, Discussion Product Manager Victor Wu demonstrates how to use GitLab Issue Boards for Agile and Scrum-style planning and tracking.\n\n### Documentation Quick Links\n\n- [Issue Board Overview](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html#overview)\n- [Issue Boards for Scrum](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html#scrum-team)\n- [Issue Board terminology](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html#issue-board-terminology)\n- [Creating workflows](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html#creating-workflows)\n\n## Help us celebrate our #Issueversary\n\nEveryone has an Issue Board story. Maybe you spent months on a long conversation to get your legal team to embrace the Kanban and promptly blew their minds. Maybe your team is full of diehards driven by strongly held opinions over exactly how many stages yours should have. Maybe you're a remote worker and your issue board is one of the main ways you keep up with teammates spread across the globe.\n\nWhatever your story is, we want to hear from you! Help us celebrate a year of the GitLab Issue Board by [sending us your Issue Board story](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf_0DTiQX1X048X6ioAVLRLSBwJzVSG1LH7LupoFdsascPAAw/viewform)\nfor your chance to win free GitLab swag.

Sijbrandij","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749665388/Blog/Hero%20Images/Revised2.png","2024-12-05","__This message from Sid Sijbrandij and Bill Staples was shared with GitLab team members earlier today.__ \n\n__Sid:__ On today’s earnings call, I announced that I am stepping down as CEO and will remain Executive Chair of the Board. I also introduced GitLab’s new CEO, [Bill Staples](https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamstaples/). \n\nAs a Board, we routinely do succession planning. This includes conversations with a number of top executives. We’ve been having these conversations in greater earnest since my cancer returned. Through these discussions, we identified someone uniquely qualified to lead GitLab. I want more time to focus on my cancer treatment and health. My treatments are going well, my cancer is not metastatic, and I'm working towards making a full recovery. Stepping down from a role that I love is not easy, but I believe that it is the right decision for GitLab.\n\nI couldn't be more excited to introduce you to Bill Staples, who will be leading GitLab into its next chapter. Bill will be GitLab’s CEO, effective today. He will also join the GitLab Board as a Director. Bill was most recently a public company CEO at New Relic. During his time there, he significantly increased the value of the company by accelerating revenue and driving increased profitability. He also brings decades of experience in leadership roles at Adobe and Microsoft. When I began speaking with Bill, I was immediately drawn to his customer-centric approach and deep product expertise. As I got to know him further, I knew that his shared value system made him the right person for this role, for our team members, for our customers, and for our shareholders. I feel fortunate that GitLab has found someone with a great leadership track record and strong DevOps expertise to lead GitLab into the future.\n\nWe have come so far from the early days when we launched GitLab.com. We have created the DevOps category and are the leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for both vision and execution. Millions of people now use GitLab to deliver software faster and more efficiently. We have integrated AI, Security, and Compliance into our platform to offer our enterprise customers the strongest AI-powered DevSecOps solution. We have also built GitLab in collaboration with our contributors. Last quarter, we had an all-time high of an estimated 1,800 code contributions from the wider community. It is incredible that as GitLab grew, our contributor community grew with us. We have done all of this while being a values-driven company, leading in all-remote work, championing transparency through our public handbook and culture, and co-creating with the wider community.\n\nI feel many things today, but more than anything else, I am grateful. I want to thank our customers. Driving results for them has been at the core of GitLab’s values, and I greatly appreciate their trust in us. I want to thank the wider GitLab community for their trust and enthusiasm. Their tens of thousands of contributions have greatly enhanced GitLab and its value for all users. Thank you, GitLab team members. Your contributions are at the core of GitLab’s success and the value we drive for our customers. Thank you, E-Group. You are amazing partners and collaborators in leading GitLab and our team members to achieve our very best. Thank you, GitLab Board. I have appreciated your support throughout my time as CEO and look forward to our ongoing partnership as I continue to serve as Executive Chair. And, thank you, Bill. I am excited for you to lead our next phase of growth. I am here to support you and the company in GitLab’s next chapter!\n\nI couldn't be more thrilled about Bill and what's ahead for GitLab with him at the helm. We have an incredible opportunity in front of us. Software has never mattered more, and GitLab is well-positioned to be the platform that best enables folks to create, secure, and operate it. I look forward to staying part of the company and being actively involved wherever Bill can use me. \n\n__Bill:__ Thanks, Sid, for the warm welcome! I greatly admire you and what you have accomplished. Very few people in the world have built a $10B market-cap technology company, taken it public, and scaled it to $750M in run-rate revenue. You have done incredible things with GitLab, and I’m grateful you will continue to play a meaningful role in the company. I appreciate your trust in me and commit to building upon the successes you and others should rightfully celebrate. \n\nI am so excited about GitLab and the opportunity ahead of us. Over the coming decade, we will see software-driven transformation around the world as AI accelerates and transforms the software revolution already in motion. GitLab and our mission are going to be more important than ever. I look forward to working with this team to scale GitLab well beyond where it is today.\n",[712],"news",{"slug":714,"featured":27,"template":13},"gitlab-names-bill-staples-as-new-ceo",{"content":716,"config":724},{"title":717,"description":718,"authors":719,"heroImage":721,"date":722,"body":723,"category":9},"Our Privacy Policy has been updated","Our updated Privacy Policy clarifies our existing data processing activities.",[720],"GitLab","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749664472/Blog/Hero%20Images/gitlabflatlogomap.png","2023-06-14","As part of our commitment to keeping our policies current, we made some updates to our [Privacy Policy](/privacy/) on June 14, 2022.

This change has been made to ensure the stability and reliability of our platform for all users.\n\n**Note:** Authorized users are not affected by this change.\n\n## What is the the Projects List API?\n\nThe Projects List API provides information about GitLab projects, including name, description, and other metadata. This API is widely used by our community, including researchers, developers, and integrators, to retrieve and analyze information about GitLab projects. We value this usage and aim to support it as much as possible.\n\n## Rate limitation details\n\nIn recent months, we have observed that the frequency and intensity of requests made by unauthenticated, also known as anonymous, users to the Projects List API have increased significantly. This has resulted in an increased load on our servers, which has impacted the performance and stability of our platform for all users. To address this issue, we have decided to introduce rate limitations for unauthenticated users.\n\nAs a consequence of this change, unauthenticated users of the Projects List API will be limited to 400 requests per 10 minutes per unique IP address on GitLab.com. If an unauthenticated user exceeds this limit, the user will receive a \"429 Too Many Requests\" response. On GitLab.com, this limit cannot be changed. Users of self-managed GitLab instances have the same rate limitation set by default, but [admins can change the rate limits](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/settings/rate_limit_on_projects_api.html#rate-limit-on-projects-api) as they see fit via the UI or the application settings API. They can also set the rate limit to zero, which acts as if there is no rate limitation at all.\n\nWe understand that this change may impact some of our users who rely on the Projects List API, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We encourage users who need to make more than 400 requests per 10 minutes to the Projects List API to [sign up for a GitLab account](/pricing/), which provides higher rate limits and other benefits, such as access to additional APIs and integrations.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns about this change, please do not hesitate to [leave feedback in this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/404611).\n",[736,23,712],"product",{"slug":738,"featured":12,"template":13},"rate-limitation-for-unauthorized-users-projects-list-api",{"promotions":740},[741,755,766],{"id":742,"categories":743,"header":745,"text":746,"button":747,"image":752},"ai-modernization",[744],"ai-ml","Is AI achieving its promise at scale?","Quiz will take 5 minutes or less",{"text":748,"config":749},"Get your AI maturity score",{"href":750,"dataGaName":751,"dataGaLocation":240},"/assessments/ai-modernization-assessment/","modernization assessment",{"config":753},{"src":754},"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772138786/qix0m7kwnd8x2fh1zq49.png",{"id":756,"categories":757,"header":758,"text":746,"button":759,"image":763},"devops-modernization",[736,555],"Are you just managing tools or shipping innovation?",{"text":760,"config":761},"Get your DevOps maturity score",{"href":762,"dataGaName":751,"dataGaLocation":240},"/assessments/devops-modernization-assessment/",{"config":764},{"src":765},"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772138785/eg818fmakweyuznttgid.png",{"id":767,"categories":768,"header":770,"text":746,"button":771,"image":775},"security-modernization",[769],"security","Are you trading speed for security?",{"text":772,"config":773},"Get your security maturity score",{"href":774,"dataGaName":751,"dataGaLocation":240},"/assessments/security-modernization-assessment/",{"config":776},{"src":777},"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772138786/p4pbqd9nnjejg5ds6mdk.png",{"header":779,"blurb":780,"button":781,"secondaryButton":786},"Start building faster today","See what your team can do with the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps.\n",{"text":782,"config":783},"Get your free trial",{"href":784,"dataGaName":47,"dataGaLocation":785},"https://gitlab.com/-/trial_registrations/new?glm_content=default-saas-trial&glm_source=about.gitlab.com/","feature",{"text":491,"config":787},{"href":51,"dataGaName":52,"dataGaLocation":785},1772652082158]
