It is easier to make something with few features easier to use but we think we can drive both at the same time. For usability we use the System Usability Scale &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;about.gitlab.com&amp;#x2F;handbook&amp;#x2F;engineering&amp;#x2F;ux&amp;#x2F;performance-indicators&amp;#x2F;system-usability-scale&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;about.gitlab.com&amp;#x2F;handbook&amp;#x2F;engineering&amp;#x2F;ux&amp;#x2F;performance...&lt;/a&gt; and increasing it is a target for this quarter &amp;quot;CEO KR: Achieve System Usability (SUS) target of 75.
