About GitLab

GitLab as a Public Company

In 2017, GitLab established aspirational milestones for a public offering, achieving $1B of annualized recurring revenue, and positive operating cash flow in order to align our efforts and investments to common goals. GitLab began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on October 14, 2021 under the ticker symbol “GTLB.”

We continue to believe that being a public company is an integral part of realizing our mission. As a public company, GitLab may benefit from enhanced brand awareness, access to capital, shareholder liquidity, autonomy, and transparency.

Purpose

At most companies, this would be a quarterly meeting for senior function leaders to present priorities, progress, and risk mitigations to the CEO. We allow some additional stakeholders to attend to invite a broader range of perspectives, give visibility to peers across functions, and create broader accountability.

Members of E-Group and department leaders nominated by their E-Group leader can be required or optional. Their E-Group member will determine desired participation from within their function.

What are KPIs

Every part of GitLab has Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) linked to the company OKRs. Avoid the term metric where we can be more explicit. Use KPI instead. A function’s KPIs are owned by the respective member of e-group. A function may have many performance indicators (PIs) they track and not all of them will be KPIs. KPIs should be a subset of PIs and used to indicate the most important PIs to be surfaced to leadership.

More than 3,000 people have contributed to GitLab. The GitLab Inc. team consists of the following 2,323 team members and their 363+ pets. We believe we’re the world’s largest all-remote organization and we currently have team members in more than 65 countries and regions.
