Move 40% of active projects off Jenkins before the executive review

You’re the customer success / solutions lead. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 21, 2026.

Repository adoption is rising while the delivery workflow remains divided.

The executive review needs a consolidation story, while release teams need uninterrupted builds.

Who you’d be doing this for

“My director keeps asking what moved into GitLab, and I’m still pulling answers from two systems.”

Kwesi Adekunle · DevOps Engineer

Runs build and release workflows for a self-managed software development organization.

What is at stake

The customer uses GitLab for code, but most releases still depend on Jenkins. You must weigh a visible consolidation milestone against uninterrupted delivery work.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • platform consolidation vs. release continuity
  • executive value proof vs. migration scope
  • runner capacity vs. adoption speed
  • customer autonomy vs. structured delivery support

Why Gitlab

GitLab CI/CD adoption determines whether a self-managed customer experiences the platform as integrated source control and delivery automation.
